DEOS fast-delivery ERS-2 orbits are based on the DGM-E04 gravity field model and SLR and fast-delivery (RGDR) altimeter crossovers and normal points. These orbits are generated each Tuesday and Friday afternoon based on the latest SLR and altimeter data.
The orbits can be downloaded from the DEOS or NOAA ftp servers. The orbits are stored as separate ODR files. Downloading of these files by normal FTP is more practical if you experience bad connections.
Please acknowledge the fact that you have been using the orbits
