Subject: TIGO SLR operational

Dear Colleagues,
it is my pleasure to announce the operational status of the TIGO SLR
module in Concepcion, Chile. Due to some SMTP malconfiguration
this email is transmitted quite late, since we gather data since end of
April. Unfortunately the automatic normal point transmission was affected
as well. Our normal point data gathered more or less during may is
available now at EDC.
As our SLR team consists of five potential observers only, most of
them part time (equivalently three full time), we will concentrate our
activities on night time observations, as the weather in the rainy season
permits.
Some details:
1. Approximate SLR marker coordinates:
Latitude [deg]: -36.8430056
Longitude [deg]: -73.0253264
Height (WGS84) [m]: 169.288
X [m]: 1492032.819
Y [m]: -4887946.041
Z [m]: 3803565.986
The coordinates are derived from the first VLBI experiments and the local
survey. They should be accurate to 2cm.
2. CDP Pad id: 7405
CDP System number: 79
CDP Occupancy Designator: 01
3. Excentricity of SLR Telescope SRP (Marker->SRP):
North [m]: -0.193 +- 0.0007
East [m]: -0.001 +- 0.0006
Up [m]: 1.467 +- 0.0008
4. Although the TIGO SLR module is a two colour system, we have to
restrict ourselves to release data of the blue channel (423.5 nm) only.

Sincerely,
Stefan Riepl
