STEP 1: NGS Survey Proposal
===========================

If you would like to submit your least squares-adjusted campaign-style GNSS project to NGS, an official Project Tracking ID will be required. This ID is issued by NGS upon successful review of a `Survey Project Proposal`_, as shown in :numref:`FigureQS-1.jpg`. We recommended you coordinate this with your `NGS Regional Geodetic Advisor`_. If you do not intend to submit your project to NGS, then skip this step.

The uploaded Network sketch should identify the project's network baseline design (the baselines from base stations to a rover (GVX) or those linking :term:`user marks<User Mark>` to :term:`Continuously Operating GNSS Reference Stations<CORS>`). The design plays aa important role in both :term:`session processing<Session processing>` and network adjustment in OP. Please refer to Section 11 of the manual for further information.
