EUROPE-128 (EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No.128) 2014 Apr 02-03 doy 092-093 Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation of the University of Bonn, Germany Nominal start time: 2014-092-1830 UT Nominal end time: 2014-093-1830 UT Duration: 24 hrs Correlator: BONN PARTICIPATING STATIONS ====================== Sm CRIMEA Bd BADARY 6a DSS65A Mc MEDICINA Nt NOTO Ny NYALES20 Mh METSAHOV Wz WETTZELL Ys YEBES40M 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.
