| Author: | Rolf Koenig, GFZ | |
| Content: | Author: Rolf Koenig, GFZ Due to battery and fuel problems, decommissioning of the GRACE-B satellite (COSPAR-ID 0201202, SIC Code 8004, NORAD Number 27392) has started. Therefore no stable attitude can be established, and SLR tracking is not going to be successful. Also for this reason our orbit prediction service ceases. Thank you all for your support over more than 15 years. |
