Husson, ILRS CB Subject: 7357 Beijing SLR Station for Argentina Dear colleagues, There is a new Chinese system (7357) in Beijing that is currently in collocation with the original Beijing SLR system (7249). After collocation testing, this new system is to be shipped in 2004 to San Quan, Argentina, an excellent weather location of 300 clear days a year. So far the system has provided 32 passes, a mixture of LEO and LAGEOS data with approximately half the data being LAGEOS. Their site log is available at: ftp://cddisa.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/reports/slrlog/beia_20030508.log Here are some key points based on their site log that the analysts need to know: point of contact: Wang Tanqiang Email: wangtq@263.net SOD: 73578801 DOMES : 21601S005 Approximate coordinates (roughly the same as SLR 7249): Note: It appears their site log inverted the values for the Lat and Long. The ILRS CB would be interested in receiving a ITRF2000 coordinate solution based on the its LAGEOS data so we could forward this to the other analysts. X coordinate [m]: -2148760.000 Y coordinate [m]: 4426760.000 Z coordinate [m]: 4044510.000 Latitude [deg]: 39.6077 N Longitude [deg]: 115.8927 E Elevation [m]: 71.966 the Eccentricities for 73578801 are all ´ZERO´ Wavelength [nm]: 532.0 LAGEOS single shot RMS [mm]: 15 The site tie provided appears to be incorrect and perhaps was cut and pasted from the 7249 Beijing site log. We are trying to get this issue resolved and get the log updated with the proper information. Van From: ”Husson, Van” ******************************************************************************** |
