This is a very important campaign since it brings together for comparison three of our space geodesy techniques. The IGEX 98 Committee has identified nine GLONASS satellites (three in each plane) as SLR targets for tracking support in this campaign:. Slot Number Plane SLR name COSPAR No. GLONASS Priority 3 1 Glonass 68 9407601 4 1 Glonass 70 9407603 6 1 Glonass 69 9407602 9 2 Glonass 79 9506803 12 2 Glonass 65 9405001 16 2 Glonass 66 9405002 highest 17 3 Glonass 62 9402101 20 3 Glonass 71 9500901 highest 22 3 Glonass 72 9500902 Concern was expressed at the ILRS General Assembly in Deggendorf that stations with limited resources might have difficulty allocating tracking time among these GLONASS satellites. If this is an issue at your SLR station, please note that a higher priority has been placed on GLONASS 66 and 71 in order to resolve any conflicts. Do the best you can. This is a good opportunity for SLR to demonstrate its importance to the global reference system measurement complex. Contact me if you have any questions.
