IGS Technical Report 2012

The Astronomical Institute of the University of Bern (AIUB), hosting the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE), has taken the initiative to reactive the publication the yearly IGS Technical Reports. The recent issue (2012) is available at

ftp://igs.org/pub/resource/pubs/2012_techreport.pdf

We want to take the opportunity to thank all the contributors for their effort and for keeping the schedule.

As you can see from the table below, most of the important components of the IGS have contributed - we see this as a positive feedback to our initiative to reactivate the IGS technical report series. This motivates us to announce further issues of the Technical Reports series. We plan to ask for contributions to the IGS Technical Report 2013 by end of January 2014 (further information will follow).
