Subject: GLONASS SLR data from MLRO submitted to EDC

Author: Giuseppe Bianco

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
