Subject: TanDEM-X orbit and maneuver status

Dear Colleagues,

the IGOR receiver was switched on. It seems to work perfectly, we
managed to generate a first orbit already from the data.

Maneuver situation is calm:

- injection of TanDEM-X (TDX) was very accurate
- TDX flies some 15000 km behind of TerraSAR-X (TSX)
- TDX is currently drifting towards TSX with about 630 km per day
- no maneuvers the next three weeks
- drift stop maneuvers starting probably July 12
- 20 km formation from July 21 onwards

Best regards
Rolf
