The Continuous Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Campaign 2017 (CONT17) was observed from November 28 to December 12, 2017 and featured three independent observing networks. Two legacy S/X networks of nominally 14 stations each observed in parallel for the full 15 days of the campaign. One of them was made possible in large part by the participation of the ten-station very long baseline array network of the long baseline observatory. Furthermore, for the 5-day period from December 4 to 8, 2017, a six-station broadband network continuously recorded VLBI global observing system data. The different networks will help probe the accuracy of the VLBI estimates of the Earth orientation parameters and investigate possible network biases. We describe the organizational efforts undertaken to realize CONT17, including the analysis of resources such as recording media, electronic data transfer, and correlation, the assignment of stations to the three networks, and source selection and schedule writing.

关于CONT17的组织

2017 年连续甚长基线干涉测量 (VLBI) 活动 (CONT17) 于 2017 年 11 月 28 日至 12 月 12 日进行了观测，其中包括三个独立的观测网络。两个传统的 S/X 网络，名义上有 14 个站点，每个站点在整个 15 天的活动中并行观察。其中之一在很大程度上得益于长基线天文台的十站甚长基线阵列网络的参与。此外，在 2017 年 12 月 4 日至 8 日的 5 天期间，六站宽带网络连续记录了 VLBI 全球观测系统数据。不同的网络将有助于探测地球方向参数的 VLBI 估计的准确性并调查可能的网络偏差。我们描述了为实现 CONT17 所做的组织努力，
