The facilities for the existing THU1 station is scheduled to be demolished during 1999. The new station THU2 is equipped with an Ashtech Z18 GPS/Glonass receiver and will until further support the IGEX campaign. Data became online at BKG from 11-NOV-1998 (DOY 315). A subset of data covering DOY296 - 307 is being prepared and will be sent to BKG. I have attached the station log for THU2 below.
