****************************************************************************** DORIS Electronic Mail Mon Aug 5 10:42:38 WETDST 1996 Message Number 0003 ****************************************************************************** Author: Pascal Willis (IGN) Subject: DORIS officially accepted as new technique of IERS Dear Colleagues, it is my great pleasure to annouce that after a vote of the IERS Directing Board DORIS has been accepted officially as a new technique of IERS (following VLBI,SLR, LLR and GPS). The probatory phase of the DORIS system has been considered as totally successfull by the IERS Directing Board. Our challenge towards the International Earth Rotation Service is now to continously provide information for the terrestrial reference system and maybe also to find new strategies concerning the polar motion estimation in order to improved the current accuracy obtained with the DORIS system.
