Since the late 1970's, NASA's Crustal Dynamics Project has been using Mark III VLBI to study plate tectonic motion, plate boundary deformation and earth dynamics. One major thrust has been the study of crustal motions in the western continental United States. For this effort, several relatively large, fixed antennas (Mojave, Owens Valley, Hatcreek, Ft. Davis and Vandenberg) have been used along with two small, highly mobile VLBI systems which have periodically visited sites of tectonic interest.
