Fagard" Subject: Antenna moving at Metsahovi Dear Colleagues, The DORIS antenna at Metsahovi has been changed and moved, in order to improve its stability. It is now a Starec antenna, installed on a very rigid 2.5 meter tower, bolted on a concrete pillar (0.4 m above ground level, 1.6 m under ground level). Transmissions from the new antenna resumed on October 26. The acronym in the data files for the new antenna reference point is METB. The DOMES number for the antenna reference point is 10503S015. Its approximate coordinates (ITRF97, 1997.0) are: X = 2890644.24 m Y = 1310311.75 m Z = 5513962.86 m (sigma: 2 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 ======================================================================
