As the instruments will not be available before Feb. 3, there is no need to restart the SLR tracking earlier. So we intend to provide new predictions not before Feb. 3. We will keep you informed. Best regards Franz-Heinrich Massmann From: Christian Ackermann ******************************************************************************** |
