Subject: New site (MDVO) at Mendeleevo near Moscow
In consultation with Delft University of Technology (DUT) a new permanent
GPS station has been installed at the observatory of the Institute of
Metrology for Time and Space (IMVP) in Mendeleevo, near Moscow. It is
the location of the primary time and frequency standard of Russia.
The station further expands the network of permanent European IGS stations
to the east and may be considered as an important step in closing the gap
in the coverage of Asia. The station is colocated with an older generation
SLR system which will probably be replaced by a 3rd generation system this
year.
Currently the station is equiped with a TRIMBLE 4000SSE receiver, connected
to a kinematic survey antenna. For the moment it is running on its internal
clock, but it will be connected to a hydrogen maser soon.
DUT will act as the operations center for the station. From there, the
data will be transferred to the regional data center at IfAG. Since early
January, the station has been providing daily observations to verify the
operational procedure and to enable an assessment of the data quality. Data
noise is slightly higher than for other IGS stations (8-9 mm), but the
coordinate solutions are very consistent (3-5 mm).
The site log, which has been submitted to the IGS Central Bureau is included
below.
