A new DORIS station has recently been installed at SAN JUAN, Argentina in 
the premises of the Felix Aguilar Astronomical Observatory (OAFA) hosting 
since 2005 the SLR station SJUL 7406.

Transmissions started on October 21, 2018.

The following preliminary coordinates for the DORIS antenna will be accurately 
determined in a few weeks through the high precision local tie survey 
planned in November (upcoming DORISMail).

Please find below the installation characteristics and the coordinates of 
the reference point :
