 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 20 - 26

 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

                               * * *

  According to CANSPACE-mail of 07 JAN 93 and to IGS-mail 162, PRN 11 and PRN 13
  have insufficient power capacity during eclipse season and may be turned off
  up to 12 hours each day.

                               * * *

  The comparison between fitted orbits and the orbits predicted from the
  previous day's fit are less than (1,4,10) meters. Exceptions are:

           On day 357   PRN# 11 (1, 5,11) meters.
           On day 358   PRN# 11 (1, 5,13) meters,
                        PRN# 21 (2, 6,17) meters,
           On day 359   PRN# 15 (2, 5,12) meters.

 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).
