Subject: ZIMLAT 7810: Range and Time Biases



New Range Bias and Time Biases at ZIMLAT SLR Station 7810
---------------------------------------------------------

Murphy at his best: ZIMLAT again suffered from a range bias, this time
by -0.43 ns = -6.45 cm. All ranges collected between July 30 and September 3,
1997 (included) were reported too short.


In addition the following passes were affected by a time bias due to a
sporadically malfunctioning interface:

SATELLITE DATE START END TIME BIAS
(microsec)

GLONASS-67 97-07-10 03:15:07 03:23:28 50.6
STARLETTE 97-08-15 23:17:44 23:18:27 68.1
LAGEOS 97-08-15 23:18:57 23:24:47 68.0
RESURS-3 97-08-18 20:36:37 20:39:09 62.5
STELLA 97-08-18 20:54:25 20:55:05 62.5
STARLETTE 97-08-18 22:17:57 22:27:37 62.4
STARLETTE 97-09-01 00:42:57 00:48:50 66.6
DIADEME-1 97-09-03 20:11:21 20:15:14 65.3
STARLETTE 97-09-03 20:13:17 20:20:46 65.3

These biases have to be subtracted from the reported epochs.

I am very sorry for the inconveniences this may cause.
