Degnan Subject: Continuation of ERS-1 Tracking Campaign by ltpmail.gsfc.nasa.gov (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id PAA26564; Fri, 29 Jan 1999 15:01:25 -0500 (EST) The ILRS Governing Board has considered and approved the following request from Dr. Massmann of GFZ in Potsdam for continued tracking of the ERS-1 satellite until December 31, 1999. We request all ILRS stations to continue tracking the ERS-1 satellite with the same tracking priorities as previously used during the campaign. John J.
