Nevertheless data of all 18 satellites has been processed, and the orbits of all GPS-spacecrafts have been improved. ******************************************************************************* Beginning with August 18 (day 231, 9th week), we are evaluating 30-hour-arcs, starting 3 hours before the beginning of the considered day and ending 3 hours after the end of the considered day. In this way we are getting an overlap of 6 hours between two successive days: 21h 0h 24h 3h |--3hours--|---------24hours---------|--3hours--| |--3hours--|---------24hours---------|--3hours--| 21h 0h 24h 3h From such a 30-hour-arc, the part covering 0h to 23h45m is sent to CDDIS, as usual. ******************************************************************************* 1. SOFTWARE USED: GPSOBS/BAHN5 2. MODELS AND CONSTANTS USED a) General: no changes with respect to previous runs b) Satellite Force Model: no changes with respect to previous runs The following table gives an overview over the satellites that have been used for the different one-day-arc solutions: "+" used, "-" not used. __________________________________________________________________________ PRN02| 03| 11| 12| 13| 14| 15| 16| 17| 18| 19| 20| 21| 23| 24| 25| 26| 28| ____-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| DAY| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 257|+| + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | 258|+| + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | 259|+| + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | 260|+| + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | 261|+| + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | 262|+| + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | 263|+| + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | + | c) Ground Stations (if being estimated, one position (X,Y,Z) every day): The following table gives an overview over the ground stations, that have been included into the GPS-data processing at ESOC.

For Kokee Park we had no GPS-data during the whole 13th week. Since we had no data for Algonquin on days 259 and 260, we included St.Johns (Newfoundland) in our set of ground stations. We try to keep St.Johns in the future, independently whether or not we have Algonqiun- data. The swedish station Onsala we will keep fixed in the future. d) Earth Rotation Parameters: no changes with respect to previous runs e) Observations: no changes with respect to previous runs 3. PARAMETERS TO BE ESTIMATED PER 1-DAY ARC a) Satellite Parameters per Spacecraft: From week 661 on, the satellite clock drift parameter is ignored. Con- cering the other satellite parameters, there are no changes with respect to previous runs b) Station related parameters per ground station: no changes with respect to previous runs c) Earth Rotation Parameters: no changes with respect to previous runs 4. PARAMETERS TO BE KEPT FIXED IN THE SOLUTION a) Satellite Parameters per Spacecraft: no changes with respect to previous runs b) Station related parameters per Ground Station: no changes with respect to previous runs 5.
