Please see http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/products_formats_procedures/crd.html for details. The version 1.00 document has quite a few changes, but the format itself has only a few new or redefined data fields. The document has additional data examples, a section on implementing the format, and a section describing how the data fields in the CRD format can be used by stations and analysts to improve laser ranging data quality. The sample code for version 1.00 implements the changes in the document, and also includes programs to compare normal point and full rate files in the CRD and old formats. These new programs can help the stations and Operations Centers with validating data in the new format. There will soon be an email from the ILRS explaining the timetable and procedures for implementing the CRD format at all stations, operations centers, and analysis centers. Thank you.
