Subject: GFZ Prediction Format

Dear colleagues,

satellite predictions for CHAMP, ERS-2 and GRACE-A/B provided by GFZ
contain non-ILRS-standard header information. For example see a CHAMP
TIVs file:

*To: SLR Stations
*Fm: GFZ Orbit Prediction System
*Op: Automatic Generation

*DSIDP CHMP.ORB.PRD IRVS A 030318

All lines beginning with an asterisk (*) are not ILRS standard. Following
a request by the ILRS Central Bureau, GFZ will remove these header lines
from all (!) prediction products (i.e. TIVs, DRAG, TLE and SAO files) for
CHAMP, ERS-2 and GRACE-A/B in order to harmonize with the standard format
specified at the ILRS web site:

http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/products_formats_procedures/predictions/tirv_format.html

The planned date of transition to the ILRS standard format at GFZ is April 29th,
2003 00:00 UTC.

Best regards,
Rolf Koenig
Roland Schmidt
