Dear IGS Colleagues,

Six new stations have been added to the IGS network today.  Here is
a brief summary:

HALY is located in Halat Ammar, Saudi Arabia.  The responsible
agencies are MIT and UNAVCO, and the local agency is the King Abdullah
City for Science and Technology.  The location will likely benefit
IGS ionosphere and other products.

NAMA is located in Namas, Saudi Arabia.  Other details are the same
as for HALY.

SOLA is located in Solar Village, Saudi Arabia.  The responsible
agencies are SOLA are JPL and UNAVCO, and the local agency is the
King Abdullah City for Science and Technology.  Data is delivered
hourly, and there is a co-located SLR.  A local tie to the SLR
is currently not available, but a survey is being arranged.  Due
to the co-location, ACs should consider analyzing this data if
possible.

PETS is located in Petropavlosk-Kamchatka, Russian Federation.
It is envisioned as an eventual replacement for PETP (about 5km
away), due to a better RF noise environment.  Data delivery
is hourly.  ACs which analyze PETP should consider also using
PETS if possible during this overlap period, so that the transition
will be well understood.

WARN is located in Warnemuende, Germany and is managed by BKG.
It is being added as a TIGA Project site, but it also features
GLONASS tracking, hourly data delivery, and meteorological
instruments.

SASS is located in Sassnitz, Germany.  Other details are the same
as for WARN.

Full details are available via each site's web page in the
"Tracking Network" area of http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov
The graphs will begin to appear in the next few days, as the data
is collected.

With thanks to the responsible agencies and colleagues,
Angie
