The DORIS equipment consists of a third generation beacon and a Starec antenna. The antenna is supported by a 1.5 meter high, 46 cm diameter concrete pillar, extending 3 m deep into the ground. The name of the station is ”Monument Peak” and its acronym in the DORIS data files is MONB. Transmissions started on November 30, 2005, in the central frequencies mode. The DOMES number for the antenna reference point is 40497S008. The following ITRF2000 @ 1997.0 coordinates for the DORIS antenna reference point, were derived from the geodetic connection to the ”MONP” IGS station: X= -2386250.856 m Y= -4802363.697 m Z= 3444894.416 m SigX = 0.002 m SigY = 0.003 m SigZ = 0.003 m The ITRF2000 velocities for this site are : VX = -0.0306 m/y VY = 0.0255 m/y VZ = 0.0145 m/y SigVX = 0.0002 m/y SigVY = 0.0003 m/y SigVZ = 0.0003 m/y This new station replaces the Goldstone (GOMB) DORIS station.
