Subject: GLONASS SLR data from MLRO submitted to EDC

Dear colleagues,
we have submitted to EDC the GLONASS SLR data set as observed by the new
Italian
station MLRO, currently at the NASA/GGAO. The station is not routinely
tracking, but has acquired the above data during the colocation period.
The data set contains almost 60 passes covering a period of three months
(aug-oct 1998). The quality of the MLRO data seems to be excellent.

The MLRO GLONASS data are available at the EDC ftp server in the
directories

pub/laser/frdata/glonass/glonass_62
                                   glonass_65
                                   glonass_66
                                   glonass_67
                                   glonass_68
                                   glonass_70
                                   glonass_71

The generic filename is

s77ynndmmmthhhh_ssss.mrt

where nn is the year, mmm the day of the year, hhhh the time and ssss
the satellite id.

The MLRO station position coordinates, referenced to the ITRF-94, epoch
1993.0, are the following:

Latitude:        39deg 01' 13.37689" N
Longitude:     76deg 49' 40.05740" W
Height:           22.276 m

I would appreciate any feedback on the data quality. Best regards

Giuseppe Bianco
