(GSFC-61A0)" Subject: Annoucement about Special Issue on CONT17 Dear DORIS colleagues. I draw your attention to the announcement of a special issue in the J. Geodesy devoted to analysis of data from CONT17 distributed in early January 2019 via IVSMail. As many of you are aware, the CONT campaigns (short for "Continuous VLBI") are periods of 2-3 weeks where the VLBI stations engage in continuous observations. This year two Legacy (S/X Band) and one next-generation (VLBI Geodetic Observing System, VGOS) network participated in CONT17. The occasion of the special issue might be an opportunity to collaborate with VLBI colleagues on intercomparing VLBI and DORIS products at collocated sites, over the duration of the CONT. I encourage the interested parties to contact the VLBI analysis coordinator for more information, and think about the possibility of doing a paper on this subject. Sincerely yours, Frank Lemoine Dear All: I am pleased to announce that we will a special issue for the Journal of Geodesy devoted to CONT17. This is an excellent opportunity to gather all of the research we have done using the CONT17, and to document the current state-of-the art of geodetic VLBI. The deadline for submission of articles is June 30=97roughly six months from now. 1) Please indicate if you will submit something to this special issue. Better yet, if you have a tentative subject and/or title, please let me know. 2) Please indicate if you are willing to review submissions for this issue. 3) Lastly, are you willing to be an editor for this special issue? I look forward to hearing from you. John Gipson IVS Analysis Coordinator President, NVI Inc. NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center Greenbelt, MD, 20771 john.m.gipson@nasa.gov Phone: 301-614-6876
