Subject: GIOVE-A orbit update

Dear colleagues,

since 3. September (DoY 245) SLR tracking of GIOVE-A is very difficult.
There are, however, some SLR observations at DoY 251 and 251 and 259,
which differ by about 1.5 km from the predictions.

Assuming a velocity change at DoY 245 3:00 UTC of

radial -100 mm/sec
along track -10 mm/sec
out of plane -260 mm/sec

allows to fit the SLR obervations at the 5 meter level.

A seven day prediction (DoY 260-267) based on the above assumptions can
be found at:

ftp://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/slr/cpf_predicts/2006/giovea/giovea_cpf_060919_7621.cod

Hope, you find GIOVE-A again!
Best regards,
Claudia Urschl
