Since 1948 O'Higgins is a permanently manned Antarctic military base managed by the Chilean Army, located near the northern end of the Antarctic Peninsula on a small offshore island. At the end of the eighties the Federal Republic of Germany developed a combined SAR receiver and geodetic VLBI antenna to be placed in the neighbourhood of the Weddell Sea to collect radar data of the European Remote Sensing Satellites (ERS). The project was managed by the Bundesamt fur Kartographie und Geodasie (BKG), the German Aerospace Research (DLR) and the German Institute for Polar and Marine Research (Alfred-Wegener-Institute) under BKG's leadership.
