Subject: [SLR-Mail] No. 828: Increased CHAMP Prediction Cycle From: Roland Schmidt, Chris Reigber, GFZ Potsdam > ******************************************************************************** SLR Electronic Mail 2001-10-10 14:31:00 UTC Message No. 828 ******************************************************************************** Author: Roland Schmidt, Chris Reigber, GFZ Potsdam Subject: Increased CHAMP Prediction Cycle Dear colleagues, please be informed that the prediction cycle for CHAMP predictions from GFZ will be increased to routinely 3/day as of today, Wednesday 10 October, 2001. This step is taken to improve CHAMP orbit prediction capability, which has recently been degraded due to the continuously decreasing altitude of CHAMP in connection with an increased solar and geomagnetic activity. If required we will increase the prediction cycle rate to an even higher value in the upcoming future.
