1.	Where is the station located? 
		The station is located in the county of Pixian, Chengdu city, Sichuan province, Southwest of China.
2.	Is the station currently operating, or planned? If planned, when is the projected date it will become operational? 
		It has been operating since Nov, 2003. Additionally, the station is built extending down to the bedrock.
3.	What agencies are responsible for installing, managing, operating, and maintaining the station? 
		It is now totally managed, operated and maintained by Seismological bureau of Sichuan province (in China).
4.	What is the expected operational lifetime of the station? How secure is the funding? 
		The station is used for long-term crustal deformation monitoring, and will not be dismantled or abandoned unless the force majeure.
		The station is now enjoying the earthquake related special fund subsidization provided every year by the government and Seismological Bureau of Sichuan Province (P.R.C).Additionally, funds for operation is sufficient.
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? 
		The station won't replace any existing IGS station 
6.	Does/will the station meet all of the strictly required IGS site guidelines (http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/network/guidelines/guidelines.html)? 
		Yes. The station is now using the Trimble5700 receiver (we plan to replace it with the Trimble R8 in the coming year) and the related configuration can totally meet the requirement of IGS site.
7.	What is the data delivery schedule? 
		As soon as the application is accepted, the data can be delivered. Also, historical data of this station were all stored (with sampling interval of 1sec and 30sec) since its operation and all these can be provided if necessary.
8.	Can you set the receiver for "all in view" tracking (including tracking of satellites set unhealthy)? 
		We are not sure whether it can, but theoretically speaking, it (Trimble 5700) should be.
9.	Are there currently operating IGS stations within 1000km? Approximately how many? Does this site offer any capabilities the others do not? 
		There are 2 sites located within the proposed station, the one is KUMN (about 640km away), and the other is XIAN (about 630km away).
		If the station is accepted, it will effectively improve the geometric distribution of IGS stations in china and make the orbit determination and positioning result more reasonable, accurate and meaningful. Also, further researches on Wenchuan earthquake (May 12,2008) and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau's movement will both benefit from this station. 
10.	What IGS product or project will this site benefit, based on its location, instrumentation, and latency? 
		Location.
11.	Is this station intended to tie a national datum to the ITRF? 
		Yes.
12.	Is there a web page associated with this site (please specify)? If not, please include a site photo or two with this application. 
      		See previous page for links.
13.	Is data available on a public server (please specify)? 
		No, but we promise to put the data on a public sever if necessary.
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. 
"	Central Bureau will reflect this site on the schedule of future or proposed stations at http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/network/proposed.html. 
"	The IGS analysis community will be notified of the proposal.
