EUROPE-96
(EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No. 96)
2008 Nov. 27/28
doy 332-333
Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation
of the University of Bonn, Germany
Nominal start time: 2008-332-1200 UT
Nominal end time: 2008-333-1200 UT
Duration: 24 hrs
Purpose
=======
The purpose of this experiment is to determine station coordinates and their
evolution in the southern part of the European geodetic VLBI network with the
highest precision possible.
Schedule
========
The schedule was optimized for local sky coverage. Scans are scheduled to have
scan length purely according to SNR limits. No time second modulo is applied.
The sky coverage for all stations were optimized.
The minimum SNR on all baselines is at X band and at S band different.
e-VLBI Transfer
===============
We will transfer data via eVLBI from Ny, Mh and Wz !
