Development of a stationary calibration site for altimetry measurements of the GEO-IK-2 Russian satellite geodetic system is considered. Based on the orbital parameters of the satellites, several of the most promising locations for a land-based stationary calibration site (the coast of the Black and Caspian Seas) and sea-based (water areas of the Caspian and Baltic Seas) are proposed. The advantages and disadvantages of each potential calibration site are analyzed in detail, taking into account the modern vertical movements of the Earth’s crust, the presence of the base stations of the Global Navigation Satellite System near the calibration site and logistical accessibility. On the basis of international experience, the composition of the measuring equipment of the calibration site is substantiated. As the necessary information support, it is justified to use the results of calculating operational regional models of the atmosphere, sea thermohydrodynamics, tides (for tidal seas) and wind waves, as well as remote sensing data obtained from other spacecrafts. The article presents a schematic diagram of the method for calibrating the altimetry measurement data of the Russian geodetic satellites of the GEO-IK-2 series at a stationary test site. The most promising calibration site is the Black Sea coastal area near Cape Zhelezny Rog, next to which, to improve accuracy, it is recommended to install a transponder.
