Below is table of tuned IRV prediction types alphabetized by satellite provided by each prediction center.

Legend Codes: Yy = yearly;  My = monthly;  Wy = weekly;  Dy = daily;  X = XYZ files at 1 minute intervals;  and numbers following the code indicate multiplicity (e.g., Dy4 means daily files with 4 sets of predictions/day);
Se = SAO elements;   MN = maneuver messages; DF = drag function

Note: On 23 March 2000, the NASA Predictions Center at Honeywell Technology Solutions Inc. (HTSI), formerly AlliedSignal Tecnical Servcies (ATS) transitioned from weekly predictions to daily predictions (reference: SLRmail 0569). In May 2000, MCC stopped producing weekly WESTPAC predictions due to budget constraints.
