With this in mind, we are preparing to reoccupy the site in Maui, Hawaii with the TLRS-4 system that has been maintained here at Goddard for the past 10 years. We have recently returned TLRS-4 to operational status and has completed an inter-comparison of simultaneous tracking with MOBLAS-7 at the Goddard Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory (GGAO). The TLRS-4 data is now being released to the ILRS community. A site log for the system is not yet available, but information about the TLRS-4 system that is important for data analysis is as follows: CDP Pad ID : 7130 Subnetwork : NASA City or Town : Greenbelt State or Province : Maryland Country : USA Tectonic Plate : North American Approximate Position X coordinate [m]: 1130735.2 Y coordinate [m]: -4831324.7 Z coordinate [m]: 3994132.4 Latitude [deg]: 39.0209 N Longitude [deg]: 76.8275 W Elevation [m]: 18.632 System Name : TLRS 4 4-Character Code : GGAO CDP System Number : 14 CDP Occupation Number : 03 Eccentricity to SRP (if Not Identical With SRP) North [m]: 0.0002 +- 0.001 East [m]: -0.0010 +- 0.001 Up [m]: 2.6472 +- 0.001 More information on the future deployment of TLRS-4 will be provided as additional progress is made.
