1. Where is the station located? 
The station will be at the new campus of National Institute of Metrology(NIM), Beijing, P.R.China.

2. Is the station currently operating, or planned? If planned, when is the projected date it will become operational? 
The station is planned at the new campus of NIM, but its receiver is operating continuously at the present campus. The station is operational on June 16th, 2009.

3. What agencies are responsible for installing, managing, operating, and maintaining the station? 
Electronics and Information Division of NIM will be responsible for installing, managing, operating, and maintaining the station.

4. What is the expected operational lifetime of the station? How secure is the funding? 
Permanent, but it is possible to modify the part of the station for its operating normally. Because the station is very useful for transferring our time and frequency standard UTC(NIM), its funding is ample, sustained , and stable.

5. Will the station replace an existing IGS station? If so, what is the scheduled date of decommissioning? Does the new station offer more capability than the old one? 
  No.

6. Does/will the station meet all of the strictly required IGS site guidelines (http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/network/guidelines/guidelines.html)? 
  Yes.

7. What is the data delivery schedule? 
The data delivery will be started from June 6th, 2009 after the station preparation stage..

8. Can you set the receiver for "all in view" tracking (including tracking of satellites set unhealthy)? 
Yes, I can.

9. Are there currently operating IGS stations within 1000km? Approximately how many? Does this site offer any capabilities the others do not? 
Yes, there is one station at, Fangshan, Beijing. But our station will provide the station receiver the national time and frequency standard UTC(NIM) generated by the atomic clock ensemble including hydrogen clocks and cesium clocks. It will be useful for IGS clock products.

10. What IGS product or project will this site benefit, based on its location, instrumentation, and latency?
IGS precise ephemeris, troposphere and clock products.

11. Is this station intended to tie a national datum to the ITRF?

12. Is there a web page associated with this site (please specify)? If not, please include a site photo or two with this application.
Temporarily No.

13. Is data available on a public server (please specify)?
Temporarily No.

14. Please complete and include a draft site log (http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/station/general/blank.log) according to the instructions (http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/station/general/sitelog_instr.txt). 
* The proposed four character identifier should also be included, but it remains proposed only until confirmed by the CB. Allowed characters are A-Z and 1-9 (numerals may not be used in the first character). You may perform an initial check of the availability using http://sopac.ucsd.edu/scripts/checkSiteID.cgi. If the result is "available" it is certainly available. If this web page indicates it "may already be in use," it might be available for permanent stations anyway. 
* A new 4-char ID is required if a site is moved to a new monument. The 4-char ID has a one-to-one relationship with a monument, except in the case that more than one receiver records data from one antenna. 
* Include intended primary and secondary IGS Data Centers (see http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/organization/centers.html), but it is not necessary to confirm arrangements with the DCs at this stage.
