Tyrnov) Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2000 14:46:45 +0300 Subject: [IGSMAIL-2891]: GPS Receiver Message-ID: <394A13A5.5857CE05@univer.kharkov.ua> ****************************************************************************** IGS Electronic Mail 16 Jun 10:43:04 PDT 2000 Message Number 2891 ****************************************************************************** Author: Oleg F. Tyrnov Subject: GPS Receiver We have a facility, Radiophysical Observatory, willing to host a GPS receiver. The coordinates of the National Kharkiv V. Karazin University Radiophysical Observatory are as follows: Elevation 156 m, Geographic Latitude 49 degree 38 min (N), Geographic Longitude 36 degree 20 min (E), Geomagnetic Latitude 45.37 degree (N), Geomagnetic Longitude 118.7 degree (E), Inclination 66 degree 36.8 min, Declination 6 degree 19.6 min (W). National Kharkiv V. Karazin University scientists have conducted research on LEO satellite-to-earth radio wave propagation since the first Sputnik. To conduct space weather research, National Kharkiv V. Karazin University contains the School of Radio Physics including the Radiophysical Observatory, and to conduct geodetic research, it contains the School of Geography and Geology. A GPS receiver at this site could increase the value of our facility to the international and local scientific community, both geodetic and ionospheric, by operating a GPS receiver on site. For space weather research, the receiver will be clustered with other remote sensing instruments on site (MF radar, spaced antenna drift radar, HF Doppler radar, LEO satellite-radio-beacon receivers, fluxgate magnetometer and two-component coil magnetometer, UHF receiver system, and ionosonde). Unfortunately, we cannot purchase such a GPS receiver, but do have the infrastructure to operate it and distribute the data to the IGS and other users. Therefore, if any institute/organisation is willing to install a GPS receiver at our site, we do have the infrastructure to operate it and distribute the data to the IGS and other users.
