Dear IGS colleagues!
The absolute IGS antenna correction file (igs08_wwww.atx) has been
updated. The new release is called 'igs08_1918.atx'. It contains the
following changes:
1) Based on IGS/MGEX monitoring, BeiDou IGSO 6 (2016-021A) switched from
PRN C15 to C13 on 11 October 2016. Therefore, the following satellite
has been added with conventional MGEX phase center offset values:
C13 (C017)
2) Decommission dates for the following satellites have been added:
C13 (C014): 21 October 2014
C15 (C017): 11 October 2016
The updated antenna correction model is available at
ftp://ftp.igs.org/pub/station/general/igs08_1918.atx
or
ftp://ftp.igs.org/pub/station/general/igs08.atx
Please be aware that C15 (C017) and C13 (C017) are the first satellites
contained in igs08.atx with start/end dates different from midnight:
C15 (C017):
> 2016 10 11 5 0 0.0000000 VALID UNTIL
C13 (C017):
> 2016 10 11 7 30 0.0000000 VALID FROM
