Thomas, NVI, Inc./GSFC Refer to http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/program/descrip2007.html#r1 for the session purpose. =========================================================== Parameter values for experiment R1295 Experiment description: IVS-R1 Scheduler: NASA Correlator: Please see the master schedule Nominal start: 2007-267-17:00:00 Nominal end: 2007-268-17:00:00 Current yyyyddd: 2007267 (2007.73) ( 14368 MJD, MON. 24SEP.) Greenwich sidereal time: 17:12:35.00 (17: 0: 0 UT) Sun's RA and DEC: 12h 4.7m 0d 30.3 =========================================================== Important Station Information Ny Alesund was tagged along to this session. Kokee is scheduled to be down for electrical work during this session. Kokee was tagged along just in case the electrical work gets rescheduled. =========================================================== There are no observations for Kokee and Wettzell from 18:15 U.T. to 19:45 U.T. Kokee and Wettzell will participate in the intensive session during this period. If Kokee is down due to the electrical work, Tsukuba will replace Kokee in the intensive session. =========================================================== First observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Hh Ho Kk Ny On Tc Wf Wz 0537-441 07267-170000| 40 40 40 | 1611+343 07267-170000| 40 40 40 40 40| =========================================================== Last observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Hh Ho Kk Ny On Tc Wf Wz 1057-797 07268-165426| 77 77 | 1611+343 07268-165433| 40 40 40 40 40| 0955+476 07268-165627| 40 40 40 40 40| 1606+106 07268-165829| 62 42 52 62 40| =========================================================== SKED Summary from file ./r1295.skd for experiment R1295 (all scans with at least one subnet station) Average number of obs. per baseline per source(normalized by up-time) = 10.9 Min = .0 Max = 110.8 (Baseline Ho-On on 0454-234) RMS = 14.6 Total time: 1440 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
