 OUTLINE OF THE ESTIMATION OF GPS-ORBITS AND EARTH ROTATION PARAMETERS
 AT THE ESOC PROCESSING CENTER FOR IGS

 J.M.Dow, J.Feltens, T.Martin Mur, C.Garcia-Martinez

 Description of analysis for period 1992 December 06 - 12

 1. SOFTWARE USED:   GPSOBS/BAHN5

 2. MODELS USED AND PARAMETERS ESTIMATED/FIXED

  For a description of models and parameters used ==> see IGS - Mail  51
  For updates of the models and parameters used   ==> see IGS - Mail 114

                               * * *

   SV-32 has been active since Dec 11. But since only a few observations were
   available during Dec 11 and Dec 12, SV-32 has been excluded for all days of
   this week. We will include SV-32 in our evaluations when we start the comp-
   utation of week 675.

                               * * *

  The comparison between fitted orbits and the orbits predicted from the
  previous day's fit are less than (1,5,12) meters on usual days and less than
  (2,6,20) meters on A/S-days. Exceptions are:

           On day 341   PRN# 11 (3,10,28) meters,
           on day 344   PRN# 11 (4,17,40) meters.

                               * * *

  TAIW and NYAL has been excluded of our set of ground stations.

 3. GROUND STATIONS (if being estimated, one position (X,Y,Z) every day):

  The following table gives an overview over the ground stations that
  have been included into the GPS-data processing at ESOC. Except where
  otherwise noted ("remarks"), corrections are taken from IGS Mail
  No. 90 - IGS site information and coordinates,updated version of
  IERS/IGS Tables in IGS Mail No. 65  -  (Boucher and Altamimi).
