Session Notes for R1 (Rapid Turnaround Monday) session: r1354 Prepared by C. Thomas, NVI, Inc./GSFC Refer to http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/program/descrip2008.html#r1 for the session purpose. =========================================================== Parameter values for experiment R1354 Experiment description: IVS-R1 Scheduler: NASA Correlator: Please see the master schedule. Nominal start: 2008-329-17:00:00 Nominal end: 2008-330-17:00:00 Current yyyyddd: 2008329 (2008.90) ( 14795 MJD, MON. 24NOV.) Greenwich sidereal time: 21:16: 0.00 (17: 0: 0 UT) Sun's RA and DEC: 16h 2.9m -20d 43.0 =========================================================== Important Station Information Fortaleza was not tagged along to this schedule file because Fortaleza only picked up 24 scans. Ny Alesund was tagged along to this schedule except during the intensive period. A third station was needed to help Hobart and Onsala to pick up observations while Kokee and Wettzell participate in the intensive. =========================================================== 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. =========================================================== First observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Ho Kk Ny On Wz 0955+476 08329-170000| 43 43 43 43| 0133+476 08329-170154| 43 43| 1339-287 08329-170227| 43 43 | =========================================================== Last observations Source Start DURATIONS name yyddd-hhmmss Ho Kk Ny On Wz 2234+282 08330-165538| 43 43 43| 0606-223 08330-165706| 59 59 | 1741-038 08330-165738| 43 43| =========================================================== SKED Summary from file ./r1354.skd for experiment R1354 (all scans with at least one subnet station) Average number of obs. per baseline per source(normalized by up-time) = 14.1 Min = 0.0 Max = 84.7 (Baseline Ho-On on 0727-115) RMS = 18.1 Total time: 1439 minutes ( 24.0 hours).
