EUROPE-130 (EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No.130) 2014 Aug,20-21 doy 232-233 Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation of the University of Bonn, Germany Nominal start time: 2014-232-1800 UT Nominal end time: 2014-233-1800 UT Duration: 24 hrs Correlator: BONN PARTICIPATING STATIONS ====================== 6a=DSS65A Mh=METSAHOV Ny=NYALES20 Wz=WETTZELL Zc=ZELENCHK 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. Comment ======= DSS13 is scheduled in tag-along mode Session Notes for session: eur130 =========================================================== Experiment: EUR130 Description EUROPE-130 Scheduler: IGG/am Correlator: BONN Start: 2014-232-18:00:00 End: 2014-233-18:00:00 Current yyyyddd: 2014232 (2014.64) ( 16890 MJD, WED. 20AUG.) =========================================================== There are no observations for Wettzell from 18:00 U.T. to 19:40 U.T.
