CRDS-17 (Southern Hemisphere Astrometry) 2005 March 15 (DOY 074) Notes prepared by Alan Fey, U.S. Naval Observatory Schedule name: crds17.skd Nominal Start: 17:30 U.T. on 2005 March 15 (DOY 074) first observation at 17:30 U.T. on 0302-623 Ho-Hh Duration: 24 hours Nominal Stop: 17:30 U.T. on 2005 March 16 (DOY 075) last observation at 17:24 U.T. on 0534-611 Ho-Hh Correlator: WACO at Washington, DC Station Codes # of tapes # of obs Occupation Code HARTRAO J 1.6 178 HOBART26 H 1.6 178 Total number of observations (delay measurements): 178 Total number of scans in the schedule: 178 Purpose ======= Astrometric observations to strenghten the ICRF in the Southern Hemisphere. Schedule ======== This is a new schedule generated by Alan Fey using sked. Correlation =========== This experiment will be correlated at the WACO Correlator. Tapes should be shipped to Washington, DC as soon after the experiment as practical. Special procedures ================== Note: this experiment uses the 128 Mb/s Mk4 mode 128-16-1 (GEOSX2F). Summary ======= The following listing is a summary of the observations in this schedule. Average number of obs. per baseline per source (normalized by up-time) = 13.2 Min = 8.2 Max = 18.9 (Baseline Hh-Ho on 2106-413) RMS = 2.5 Total time: 1440 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
