Subject: CHAMP Apogee Burn Manoeuvres

Dear colleagues,

  please be informed about an upcoming orbit manoeuvre for CHAMP
  on Monday/Tuesday week 50. From Dec. 9th, 2002 06:57 UTC till 
  Dec. 10th, 2002 18:23 UTC a set of 24 apogee burn manoeuvres 
  (i.e. 1 burn/orbit, burn duration approx. 50 min/burn) will be
  performed in order to rise CHAMP&#180;s altitude. Due to the dense 
  succession of burns, GFZ will stop delivery of orbit predictions
  for CHAMP during that period. GFZ plans to come up with updated 
  predictions some time after the final burn on Dec. 10th, or Dec.
  11th latest.

Best regards,
R. Koenig,
R. Schmidt
