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).
