Abstract
The use of an appropriate terrestrial reference frame in order to describe the position of points on the earth, as well as its temporal variation, is a problem of both theoretical and practical importance. This is the zero order optimal design problem in the terminology of Grafarend (1974), extended from the space to the space-time domain.
