Subject: Kourou receivers (KOUR and KOU1)
Dear Colleagues,
A new GPS-GLONASS system has been installed at Kourou (KOU1).
The new marker is 97301M211 and holds a Legacy receiver. Data
are downloaded on a daily basis and are available since
DOY 020/2002. A set of precise coordinates are included in
the station information form.
Additionally the faulty antenna of station KOUR, connected to
the ASHTECH Z-XII3 receiver, has been replaced and the system
is again producing hourly data in parallel to the Legacy receiver.
Therefore the two systems (KOU1 and KOUR) have independent
monuments separated a few meters away, antennas, cabling and
receivers.
Please find below the updated station information forms.
Best regards.
