The IGS LEO Pilot Project is only possible thanks to the efforts of the participating IGS LEO Associate Analysis Centres.

Six Associated Analysis Centers have been identified that have the capability to produce off-line IGS products for analysis purposes, while having the potential to implement LEO flight receiver data in this process. These centers are:

AIUB      Astronomical Institute, University of Bern, Switzerland
CSR        Centre for Space Research, University of Texas, USA
ESOC     European Space Operation Centre, Darmstadt, Germany
GFZ       Geo Forschungs Zentrum, Potsdam, Germany
JPL          Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, USA
TUM       Technical University of Munich, Germany
In addition there are Associate Analysis Centers that can offer valuable contributions in the area of LEO processing, without generating GPS orbits or clock products. These are: The data centre for exchange of most IGS LEO data and products is
CDDIS   Crustal Dynamics Data Information Service, USA
Various other groups responded to the Call for Proposals, with proposals that have been accepted by the IGS Governing Board. These AACs may be called upon for support to the LEO-PP campaigns and demonstrations.
AUSLIG    Australian Surveying and Land Information Group, Australia
CISAS       Center for Space Studies, University of Padua, Italy
ICC            Institut Cartografic de Catalunya, Spain
ISTRAC    Indian Space Research Organisation, Tracking and Command Network, India
JCET         Joint Center for Earth Systems Technology, University of Maryland, USA
KAO         Korean Astronomy Observatory
KMS         National Survey and Cadastre, Denmark
NERC       Natural Environment Research Council, Space Geodesy facility, UK
NRCAN    National Resources of Canada
OSU          Laboratory for Space Geodesy and Remote Sensing, Ohio State University, USA
RIG           Research Institute of Geodesy, Pecny, Czech Republic
SK             Norwegian Mapping Authority
USNO       United States Naval Observatory
