Dear colleagues,

A new DORIS station has recently been installed in Kanpur, India.
This station is dedicated to the IDS for scientific purposes (off the 
orbitography permanent network).

The installation was completed on February 13, 2026, and transmissions 
started with shifted frequencies mode K=-21 in order to avoid internal jamming 
with the nearby stations of the permanent network.

Please find below the installation characteristics and the coordinates of 
the reference point :
