Fagard" Subject: Removal of the DORIS station at Colombo (Sri Lanka) Dear Colleagues, The DORIS station at Colombo, Sri Lanka (COLA) stopped transmitting on October 19, 2004, following a failure of the power supply unit caused by a thunderstorm. All remaining on-site equipment will now be removed and the DORIS station is declared closed. I wish to express our gratitude to the Survey Department of Sri Lanka, and especially to its Surveyor General Mr Mendis, for taking good care of the DORIS station for more than 13 years.
