New space missions are shaping and accelerating developments in geodesy. In 2028, the European Space Agency's (ESA) Genesis satellite is scheduled to be launched, linking all four geodetic space techniques (VLBI, GNSS, SLR, DORIS) at an altitude of 6000 km, thereby strengthening and improving the international terrestrial reference frame (ITRF). In addition, a satellite positioning service for the moon is being developed (Moonlight), and a geodetic reference station with a VLBI transmitter next to a laser reflector is to be built on the moon (NovaMoon). Closer to Earth, LEO-PNT systems for navigation are growing, among them ESA's Celeste. These systems will complement the existing GNSS and make positioning more resilient. At the same time, the very successful gravity field missions will be further developed: the GRACE-C and NGGM missions will together form the MAGIC constellation and describe variations in the Earth's water cycle even better. Exciting developments are underway on Earth in ring lasers and clocks (from optical atomic clocks to atomic nuclear clocks), which enable the observation of Earth's rotation and the determination of altitude via frequency comparisons. We actively contribute to some of these developments, while others are closely monitored.
