Garate/Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada) our mobile ”FTLRS” sytem for a one month campaign to achieve a colocation experiment with the permanent SLR station in San Fernando. With the collaboration of our spanish colleagues which really made us very welcome in their observatory, the setup of the station was achieved quickly in 3 days and we got the firts pass evening on june 7th, the first day of the14th International laser ranging Workshop. On tuesday 8th, during a nice trip and reception in the Observatory, all the participants had the opportunity to visit and attend satellites tracking with the two stations in colocation at some hundred meters, and it has been really a great pleasure for us to welcome you at Ftlrs. The site log for this new laser site was sent today and, thanks Carey Noll, is available on line on the ILRS Web site with last updates. All the data (80 passes today including 7 lageos) has been sent from the beginning and we´ll continue to do it now quickly with a calibration measured hopefully at some millimeter level or better. The link for the site information at Ilrs is the following : http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/stations/sitelist/select.cgi?order=by_site_name&site_code=SFEF&site_name=San%20Fernando&pad_id=7823&tab_id=general Don´t hesitate to contact us for any question, comments and scientific projects and application of interest for the futur with this system.... Thanks for your cooperation, especially our scientific Spanish colleagues and ROA authorities, best regards Francis Pierron -- *--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--* + Francis Pierron Tel : (33) [0]4 93 40 54 20 + Grasse laser ranging operations fax : (33) [0]4 93 09 26 14 + Ultra mobile and permanent station email : francis.pierron@obs-azur.fr + + Observatoire de la cote d´azur + + Av N Copernic 06130 Grasse - France + + Phone from foreign country: 33 4 93 .. .. .. *--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--* From: Francis Pierron ******************************************************************************** |
