Subject: Predictions for METEOR-3M


Dear Colleagues,


This note is to inform you that the orbit group in the Space Geodesy
Branch (Code 926) at Goddard Space Flight Center will be providing
orbit predictions for the METEOR3M spacecraft. It is our intention
to provide these predictions bi-weekly. We would appreciate feedback
on the quality of our initial predictions. If necessary, we can provide
predictions on a more frequent basis.

We will be sending the prediction via the ILRSpred mail exploder.
Our predictions will also be available at CDDIS (look for the g926
extent in the data set name). The first prediction starts on 2003-12-16
and goes through 2003-12-21.

Our group produces precise ephemerides for METEOR3M. Over the last
month there has been a decrease in SLR data available for METEOR3M
orbit solutions. We are eager to help by working with you to provide
the best predictions that we can. Please let us know your evaluation
of out initial predictions.


Thank You,

David D.Rowlands
