Dear IGS colleagues!

The absolute IGS antenna correction file (igs08_wwww.atx) has been 
updated. The new release is called 'igs08_1903.atx'. It contains the 
following changes:

1) According to the Information Analytical Centre (IAC), GLONASS-M 
satellite R853 (2016-032A) launched on 29 May 2016 replaced GLONASS-M 
satellite R723 in almanac slot 11 (Please note that R753 is a GLONASS 
satellite launched in 1991!). Therefore, the following satellite has 
been added:

R11 (R853)

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), R853 
is already active since 24 June 2016 (DOY 176).
