Dear IGS colleagues!
The absolute IGS antenna correction file (igs08_wwww.atx) has been
updated. The new release is called 'igs08_1730.atx'. It contains the
following changes:
1) According to the Information-Analytical Centre, GLONASS-M satellite
R743 was reactivated utilizing almanac slot 8. Therefore, the following
satellite has been added to igs08.atx:
R08 (R743)
> According to the monitoring IAC, a planned maintenance with SC
> Glonass-M #743 (orbital slot 8) successfully completed, the SC is used
> for the intended purpose
http://www.glonass-ianc.rsa.ru/en/content/news/?ELEMENT_ID=403
According to Stefan Schaer (IGSMAIL-6734) and Richard Langley
(IGSMAIL-6737), the satellite already got activated on 22 February 2013.
2) According to IGSMAIL-6734 and IGSMAIL-6737, GLONASS-K1 satellite R801
was still active using the same almanac slot, when R743 was switched on.
This is reflected by the following new file entry:
R26 (R801)
