Dear IGS/IGLOS
colleagues,
We got confronted with first IGS/IGLOS tracking data of the three
new
GLONASS-M satellites launched on 25 Sep 2008,
namely:
R18 (724) on 17 Oct 2008 (day
291)
R21 (725) on 27 Oct 2008 (day
301)
R22 (726) on 06 Nov 2008 (day
311)
With these three new satellites, the GLONASS-M constellation
now
consists of 16 satellites: R06, R07, R09, R10, R11, R13, R14, R15,
R17,
R18, R19, R20, R21, R22, R23, R24. The only remaining active
GLONASS
satellite of the older generation is
R04.
The CODE GNSS orbit products include currently up to 48 satellites
(32
GPS plus 16 GLONASS). It should be mentioned that current data of
R09
(722) is considered useless and is therefore generally excluded
from
our
analysis.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is still a significant number of IGS/IGLOS
GNSS
receivers which is not yet ready for zero or negative GLONASS
frequency
channels. This is an unacceptable situation, especially since already
8
(of 17) GLONASS satellites transmit their signals on these
frequency
channels: R09 (-2), R11 (0), R13 (-2), R15 (0), R17 (-1), R18 (-3),
R21
(-1), R22 (-3).
