Subject: ERS-2 Tracking

Dear colleagues,

On May 15 the operating module ”A” of the PRARE space segment
onboard the ERS-2 satellite has been switched-off due to an
overcurrent. As this could not be resolved, it has been decided
to switch to module ”B” after some tests. Meanwhile this has
been performed successfully.

Unfortunately this will result in a calibration phase of about
three months. Therefore the SLR tracking within this period is
of essential importance and we are counting on your strong SLR
tracking contribution.

We will let you know when the calibration has been completed.

Thanks for your excellent cooperation.
Best regards

Chris Reigber (GFZ ERS-2 Project Lead)
