Dear Colleagues, 

Apologies for the multiple post as the launch and the decommission of
these vehicles are important to all.

The absolute IGS antenna correction file (igs05_wwww.atx) has been 
updated. The new release is called 'igs05_1563.atx'. It contains the 
following changes:

1) The latest GLONASS-M satellites launched on 14 December 2009 have
been added with preliminary z-offset values of 230.0 cm:

R01 (R730)
R04 (R733)
R05 (R734)

The corresponding COSPAR IDs contained in the file are not confirmed so 
far and could be changed later on!

2) 'Decommission' dates for the following satellites have been added:

R01 (R796): 13 December 2009
R04 (R795): 13 December 2009
R05 (R711): 13 December 2009

The update of the antenna correction model is available at
ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/station/general/igs05_1563.atx
or
ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/station/general/igs05.atx

With best regards,
Ralf Schmid and Robert Khachikyan
