NATIONAL SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM The National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) is that component of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) - [http://www.fgdc.gov/nsdi/nsdi.html] which contains all geodetic control contained in the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Data Base. This includes: A, B, First, Second and Third-Order horizontal and vertical control, Geoid models such as GEOID 99, precise GPS orbits and Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), observed by NGS as well as data submitted by other Federal, State, and local agencies, Academic Institutions and the private sector NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE
