EUROPE-118 (EUROPEAN Geodetic VLBI Network session No. 118 ) 2012 July,03-04 doy 185-186 Institute for Geodesy and GeoInformation of the University of Bonn, Germany Nominal start time: 2012-185-1730 UT Nominal end time: 2012-186-1730 UT Duration: 24 hrs Correlator: BONN PARTICIPATING STATIONS ====================== 6a DSS65A Eb EFLSBERG Sm CRIMEA Ma MATERA Mh METSAHOV Ny NYALES20 Sv SVETLEO On ONSALA60 Ny NYALES20 Wz WETTZELL Ys YEBES40M 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 different.
