Creation of a special NTv2 file for a cable net operator

A network operator runs an electric cable net in Lower Saxony around the German cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven. Gauss-Krüger coordinates in the DHDN reference system (CRS GK/DHDN) are used to determine the position of the cables. For the transformation to UTM coordinates in the ETRS89 reference system (CRS UTM/ETRS89), he uses various Helmert parameter sets of the federal states of Lower Saxony and Bremen. The conversion accuracies vary in the decimeter to meter range.

KilletSoft supplies NASA with Geodetic Software

"When we founded our company Killet GeoSoftware Ing.-GbR, KilletSoft for short, 33 years ago, I never thought that the American space agency NASA would one day purchase geodetic software from us," says geodesist, software developer and managing director Fred Killet. "We are honored that we may provide our geodetic software to NASA, even though they have a very large team of in-house software developers", he adds. NASA has acquired several licenses for the TRANSDATpro and SEVE
