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

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

 Description of analysis for period 1993 April 18 - April 24
                                                            (week 0693)
 1. SOFTWARE USED:   GPSOBS/BAHN-Version 5

 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 and
                                                      see IGS - Rep. 224
 3. REMARKS: With  the beginning  of  week 0693 we  have included SV-31/PRN31
             into our IGS-processing.
                  A manoeuvre was  announced  in  CANSPACE  at 9 April 93 for
             SV-32/PRN01. We dectected the  manoeuvre on 22 April 93 at 11:28
             UTC and  estimated a  velocity increment value of -138.0 mm/sec.
                  A/S was  switched on  from day 109 (19 Apr 93) 00:00 UTC to
             day 114 (24 Apr 93) 00:00 UTC. To handle the A/S data,the thres-
             hold separating data noise from cycle slips, had to be enlarged.
             Obviously A/S deteriorated  our results, as can be seen from the
             orbit table attached,and our ERP values seem to be less accurate
             compared with non-A/S weeks  too.  The RMS values  obtained from
             processing were larger than usual.

 4. GROUND STATIONS: Boucher and Altamimi, IGS workshop Berne 24-27 March'93,
                     IGS/IERS station coordinates in the ITRF91 at 1992.6
