Subject: Dissemination of CHAMP Orbit Prediction Products

Dear colleagues,

our last SLRMail No. 0626 concerned availability of CHAMP orbit prediction
products at GFZ and at theILRS data centers. Seemingly, there has been some
confusion about additional direct dissemination of CHAMP orbit prediction
products to SLR stations.

It has been a standard for years for the satellites processed at GFZ to deliver
orbit prediction product files per email directly to SLR stations. We will keep
this service for CHAMP, too. Based on the response to our questionnaire (mailed
to SLR stations on May 18, 2000) we took the decision to forward directly the
following product files to a number of SLR stations per email:

product file | email subject
--------------------------------+----------------------------------
Tuned InterRangeVectors (IRVs) | CHAMP orbit predictions
Adjacent drag functions (DRAG) | CHAMP FR drag function
News letter | CHAMP prd post
--------------------------------+----------------------------------

To see examples for the format of IRVs- and DRAG-files see:

ftp://ftp.gfz-potsdam.de/pub/champ/chftp1/slr/champ_irvs_000704_0.gfz
ftp://ftp.gfz-potsdam.de/pub/champ/chftp1/slr/champ_drag_000704_0.gfz

or the corresponding files at the relevant CDDIS-, EDC-directories (see SLRMail
No. 0626). The list of stations for direct dissemination corresponds to the
distribution list in use for ERS-2.


In case of any questions/suggestions please feel free to contact us.

Kind regards

Roland Schmidt, GFZ
