Now, nearly ten days after, the new functionnalities available on this new version of the instrument (DGXX) are being tested, with success. Among them, it has the capability of receiving and processing onboard as many as seven beacons at the same time (vs. two for Jason-1). An illustration of this capability has been published today on the Aviso website: http://www.aviso.oceanobs.com/en/news-storage/news-detail/index.html?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=270&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=285&cHash=6f2f963215 (or see link on Aviso Home Page at http://www.aviso.oceanobs.com ) Best regards Laurent Soudarin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Laurent SOUDARIN Tel : +33 (0)5 61 39 48 49 Laurent.Soudarin @ cls.fr Fax : +33 (0)5 61 39 48 06 International DORIS Service http://ids.cls.fr IDS Central Bureau IDS.central.bureau @ cls.fr IDS webmaster webmaster_ids @ cls.fr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please do not reply directly to this message, but send comments and suggestions to IDS.central.bureau@cls.fr
