CORS station, identified as "CHES", will serve as a stable point of reference in the tri-state region of Southeast Pennsylvania, providing vital data for surveying and GIS processing. 

The hardware for the CORS consists of a TRIMBLE 5700 PN 40406-31 coupled with an antenna, TRIMBLE ZEPHYR GEODETIC PN 57010-00. The antenna is positioned at rooftop of Boucher Hall, West Chester University.
