The antenna is now supported by a 40 cm high stainless steel structure, set on the same concrete pillar. The transmissions from the former antenna location (NOWB) stopped on July 27, and resumed on July 29 after the antenna raising and change. Please find below the installation characteristics and the coordinates of the new reference point : Concerned site: #### BEGIN SITE #### Site name : NOUMEA #### Site DOMES number : 92701 #### #### END SITE #### Characteristics of the new point: #### BEGIN STATION #### Four character ID : NOXB #### Antenna model : Starec 52291 type #### Station DOMES number : 92701S004 #### Date installed (dd/mm/yyyy) : 29/07/2011 #### Antenna support type : stainless steel structure 40cm high #### Installed on : concrete pillar 1.5m high #### #### END STATION #### The coordinates of the DORIS antenna reference point are: #### BEGIN COORDINATES #### Solution : ITRF2005 #### Note about the coordinates : #### Epoch : 2000.0 #### Unit : metre #### X : -5743533.375 #### Y : 1380502.012 #### Z : -2397907.855 #### Sig X : 0.005 #### Sig Y : 0.004 #### Sig Z : 0.004 #### #### END COORDINATES #### The ITRF velocities for the site are: #### BEGIN VELOCITIES #### Note about the velocities : #### Unit : metre / year #### VX : -0.0202 #### VY : -0.0176 #### VZ : 0.0429 #### Sig VX : .0004 #### Sig VY : .0005 #### Sig VZ : .0004 #### #### END VELOCITIES #### Best regards, Jerome SAUNIER Reseaux et Services Internationaux Service de Geodesie et Nivellement Institut Geographique National 73, avenue de Paris 94 165 SAINT MANDE Cedex Cliquez sur l'url suivante https://www.mailcontrol.com/sr/LdqadMKSiu!TndxI!oX7UkeBK9SFNvuwWwgVQp80DF63tCM+hE3n6ZXx4CZeQG0sC0fSg5pTswFca1YcpG8Zdg== si ce message est indésirable (pourriel).
