Abstract
Introducing a new type of D = 10 harmonic superspace with two generations of harmonic coordinates, we reduce the Green-Schwarz (GS) superstring to a system whose constraints are Lorentz covariant and functionally independent. These features allow us to impose Lorentz-covariant gauge fixing conditions for the reparametrization and the fermionic κ-invariances. The resulting QBRST corresponds to the finite-dimensional Lie algebra of the remaining purely harmonic constraints. The super-Poincaré symmetry acts in a manifestly Lorentz-covariant form and is apparently anomaly free.
