Subject: Tracking of GLONASS-89 to Replace GLONASS-86

Dear Colleagues,

The International GLONASS Service Pilot Project (IGLOS-PP) has requested a
change in the ILRS GLONASS satellite tracking schedule. IGLOS has requested
that the satellite, GLONASS-86 (9086), be eliminated from the ILRS tracking
schedule due to its unhealthy status. The new satellite, GLONASS-89, will
take it´s place in the ILRS tracking priorities. Here is important
information about the newest GLONASS that was launched in December 2002:

Name: GLONASS-89
GLONASS #: 791
COSMOS #: 2394
COSPAR #: 0206001
SIC #: 9089
NORAD #: 27617
SLOT #: 22
PLANE #: 3


Therefore, the current ILRS schedule should incorporate these three GLONASS
satellites:

GLONASS-84
GLONASS-87
GLONASS-89

We wish successful tracking of this new satellite. Acquisition data will be
available as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Julie Horvath and Carey Noll
ILRS Central Bureau
