In addition, the ITRF2000 scale and its linear rate of change was defined by the combination of SLR and VLBI coordinate solutions. These ITRF2000 SLR coordinates along with some newer SLR site positions are now also available from the ILRS Web site at: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/ITRF2000.html The ITRF2000 SLR solution does not include several of our stations, but the page above is the complete set of SLR coordinates supplemented with site log information and/or CSR estimated positions. Analysts centers and prediction centers are encouraged to adopt ITRF2000 coordinates. If your analysis center provide regular range and time bias reports and if you have updated your coordinates, then please send an email to the Central Bureau at: cb@ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov Note: NERC and CRL have already adopted these coordinates in their analyses and claim improved orbital fits (Thank you).
