The GENESIS satellite will bring together on a satellite platform all space geodesy techniques (GNSS, DORIS, VLBI and SLR). This is essential for the accurate and stable realization of the Earth reference frame.

Improving and homogenizing time and space reference systems on Earth and, more specifically, realizing the Terrestrial Reference Frame (TRF) with an accuracy of 1 mm and a long-term stability of 0.1 mm/year are relevant for many scientific and societal endeavors.
