Comments or suggestions: 1) For time and frequency applications, the BNM-LPTF finds that there is a need for more details about the atomic clocks used as local oscillators in the IGS stations. This request concerns for example: - Is it a free running oscillator or a frequency steered standard ? - Any information about the short and middle (< 2 d) term stability ? - Is the local frequency standard the only reference for GPS data collection, or is it the local oscillator of the GPS receiver steered on the local frequency standard ? 2) The BNM-LPTF is also seequing informations about potential on-board space GPS receivers data processing. ===============================================================================
