Subject: Updated retroreflector offsets for CODE SLR-GNSS Quick-Look Reports

Dear colleagues,

We adapted the values of the laser retroreflector offsets used in our
quick-look analysis according to the updated values announced by
slrmail.1481.

Starting from DoY 220/2006 we use the following retroreflector
offsets:

Satellite PRN COPAR-ID x(m) y(m) z(m)
---------------------------------------------------
GPS G05 1993-054A 0.8626 -0.5245 0.6695
G06 1994-016A 0.8626 -0.5245 0.6717
GLONASS R03 2001-053B 0.0000 0.0000 1.5550
R22 2002-060A 0.0000 0.0000 1.5550
GLONASS-M R07 2004-053B 0.1370 0.0030 1.8740

The reflector offsets are given in the satellite´s body-fixed coordinate
system, a right-handed system defined by:

x-axis: positive to the hemipshere containing the Sun
y-axis: along solar panel axis
z-axis: towards nadir

The values are derived from the ILRS website:
