Fagard" Subject: Antenna moving at Hartebeesthoek Dear Colleagues, The DORIS antenna at Hartebeesthoek (South Africa) has been changed and moved, in order to improve its stability. It is now a Starec antenna, installed on a six-meter iron pipe, pile driven into a hole drilled through the ground and upper one meter of the bedrock (4 meter deep in total), and filled up with concrete. Transmissions from the new antenna resumed on August 10. The acronym in the data files for the new antenna reference point is HBKB. The DOMES number for the antenna reference point is 30302S006. Its approximate coordinates (ITRF97, 1997.0) are: X = 5084653.34 m Y = 2670347.18 m Z = -2768470.99 m (sigma: 1 cm) 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 ======================================================================
