EUROPE-126 (EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No.125) 2013 Nov.20-21 doy 324-325 Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation of the University of Bonn, Germany Nominal start time: 2013-324-1800 UT Nominal end time: 2013-325-1800 UT Duration: 24 hrs Correlator: BONN PARTICIPATING STATIONS ====================== Sm CRIMEA Bd BADARY 6a DSS65A Ma MATERA Nt NOTO Ny NYALES20 Mh METSAHOV On ONSALA60 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. The sky coverage for all stations were optimized. The minimum SNR on all baselines is at X band and at S band set to 25.
