Dear IGS colleagues!

The absolute IGS antenna correction file (igs08_wwww.atx) has been 
updated. The new release is called 'igs08_1886.atx' (Please note that 
'1886' corresponds to the number of the upcoming GPS week!). It contains 
the following changes:

1) According to the Information Analytical Centre (IAC), GLONASS-M 
satellite R851 (2016-008A) launched on 7 February 2016 replaced 
GLONASS-M satellite R714 in almanac slot 17. Therefore, the following 
satellite has been added:

R17 (R851)

The following PRELIMINARY phase center offset (PCO) values were assigned:

PCO_X = -54.5 cm
PCO_Y =   0.0 cm
PCO_Z = 245.0 cm

According to the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE), R851 
is already active since 24 February 2016 (DOY 55).
