Subject: [SLR-Mail] No. 623: GLONASS From: Mike Pearlman, Secretary, ILRS Central Bureau > ******************************************************************************** SLR Electronic Mail 2000-06-29 15:47:00 UTC Message No. 623 ******************************************************************************** Author: Mike Pearlman, Secretary, ILRS Central Bureau Subject: GLONASS Dear Colleague: GLONASS-72 has not been operational since May 26. We have maintained SLR tracking since that date, while IGEX/IGLOS determined whether the satellite could be resurrected and what alternative action should be taken. We have now been informed that GLONASS-72 cannot be resurrected and IGEX/IGLOS has requested that the ILRS substitute GLONASS-78 in its place. When and if new GLONASS satellites are launched, IGLOS will again review the situation. All tracking on GLONASS-72 should now cease. Predictions for GLONASS- 78 will be issued shortly. Please continue to support the IGEX/IGLOS program. Regards, Mike ------- End of forwarded message ------- Dr. Michael R.
