   Dear colleagues,

As we indicated you at San Fernando Workshop on june 2004, we deployed some days
ago our mobile slr system (FTLRS) in Brest-France for a two months campaign.

This mission has been organised in the framework of a multitechniques  project
(GPS, Gravimeter, Inclinomters, Tide gauges, Satellites Laser tracking) to
measure loading effects of equinox ocean tides on earth&#180;s crust in this area of
Bretagne, and involves different partners and scientific french organisations*.

With the very efficient collaboration of the French Navy in Brest which hosted
our equipments and Ftlrs staff, the setup of the station was achieved quickly
and we got the first pass on monday september 13 th, we&#180;ll begin to send the
data through usual flow in a few hours..

The site log for this new laser site was sent today to ILRS and, thanks Carey
Noll, is available on line on the ILRS Web site.

The link for this site information at Ilrs is the following :

We installed on site a webcam with a link on the OCA Web-site :

  Thanks for your cooperation, especially our colleagues from Epshom and the
agencies and scientists involved in this project.



                         Best regards to all of you



                                                    Francis Pierron




Don&#180;t hesitate to contact us for any question or comment, scientific projects
and application of interest for the futur with this system....
