The International DORIS Service (IDS) had its 20th anniversary in 2023 and is now looking forward to new challenges.
On the one hand, the number of satellites in operation in 2024 - 9 - is as large as the cumulative number of missions in flight over the 30-year period between 1990 and 2020.
This represents an unprecedented scale in terms of the distribution, archiving and processing of DORIS data.
On the other hand, new groups have approached IDS in recent years, bringing new processing capabilities, or wishing to become involved in DORIS processing in the medium term. These new strengths are also opening up new applications. The role of IDS is to support them by providing a framework for collaboration and all the information they need for their work. By 2024, NRT DORIS data (RINEX and orbits) will be made available for all current missions. The main objective is to enable a newly established IDS working group to use them to develop ionospheric modeling applications. But other types of applications could also follow.
In addition, IDS is carrying out other actions to meet the objectives of its strategic plan: growth of the community, extensions of DORIS applications, improvement of technology, infrastructure, and processing.
This presentation provides an update on the progress of these actions, the latest news from IDS, and the future projects.
