****************************************************************************** DORIS Electronic Mail Thu Jun 17 12:00:07 WETDST 1999 Message Number 0074 ****************************************************************************** Author: Herve Fagard (IGN) Subject: Ascension Island station back on the air. Dear Colleagues, A DORIS station was installed in February 1998 at Ascension Island. Because of a failure of the beacon (version 2.0), it has transmitted only during a few days. After a long delay due to the retrofit process which was carried out on the 2.0 beacons, the beacon was replaced, and started transmitting again on April 8. Since the antenna position has not changed, the same acronym (ASDB) will be used in the data files. The DOMES number for the antenna reference point is 30602S004. Its approximate coordinates (ITRF97, 1997.0, sigma = 1 cm) are : X = 6 121 161.57 m Y = - 1 563 943.21 m Z = - 872 613.11 m Best regards, Herve Fagard ====================================================================== Herve FAGARD e-mail : herve.fagard@ign.fr Institut Geographique National 94165 SAINT-MANDE CEDEX PHONE : + 33 1 43 98 81 48 FRANCE FAX : + 33 1 43 98 84 50 ====================================================================== [Mailed From: Pascal Willis ]
