Dear IGS colleagues,

Last week, on Thursday 9-July-2009, we switched our routine processing to 
our latest Napeos version 3.3. Since that date all our IGS products are 
generated with this new version. Our Ultra-rapid and Rapid products were 
not changed fundamentally and they have continued to perform very well.

For our Final products one fundamental change was introduced and this is 
the inclusion of the satellite antenna offsets in our weekly SINEX files. 
All the IGS SINEX combination centers have received a test SINEX several 
weeks ago and were able to handle our SINEX files including the satellite 
antenna offsets. So from this weeks submission onwards, GPS week 1539, our 
SINEX files will include the satellite antenna offsets.

We have taken the utmost care to ensure that our products have our usual 
high quality. However, in case you notice any issue with our product 
please let us know ASAP.

Kind regards,
ESOC IGS Team.
