A new GNSS reference station of the CyCLOPS Permanent Segment (PS) with the code name MAIA has been successfully installed. MAIA is located in Mammonia village in Paphos, and it is collocated with an Electronic Corner Reflector (ECR), opereting in C-Band. The monumentation of MAIA was constructed using a specifically designed stainless steel truss, attached to bedrock via stainless steel anchors and high-quality epoxy resin. The stainless steel truss was designed to exhibit submillimetric vibration at wind speeds of 140km/h. The details of the new site follow:
