Dear Colleagues,

Ref. [IGSSTATION-2002].
We are very pleased to let you know that the Diego Garcia (DGAR) IGS 
station is again operational. New data starting March 27th (2008.087) is 
available at the data centers. There was unfortunately a data gap from 
when the site communications went down on November 27th (2007.331) 05:00 
UTC. Some of this data might be recoverable from the old computer, and 
will be published if possible at a later date.

The station was also upgraded with a new Ashtech CGRS receiver. The 
antenna was not moved or replaced. An updated log has been submitted to 
the IGS-CB.

We would like to acknowledge the help and assistance of the local 
personnel at Diego Garcia in restoring operations.

We apologize for the inconvenience this extended outage my have caused.

Maintenance and operations of the DGAR station is a collaborative effort 
supported by JPL, UNAVCO, and the Air Force Space Command, Diego Garcia 
with funding provided by NASA's Earth Surface and Interior Focus Area - 
Science Mission Directorate.

Best regards,

  -Oivind Ruud
