Good news - the USNO’s Earth Orientation department has solved its Information Assurance problems and now has its public web service fully functional.
I am told that the USNO’s Precise Time department is also working on getting its web server at tycho.usno.navy.mil to be IA-compliant. It will not happen tomorrow, but the success of the EO department is encouraging. > Begin forwarded message: > > From: central_bur...@iers.org > Subject: IERS Message No. 450: Announcement of new IERS RS/PC website > Date: February 14, 2022 at 12:58:00 AM EST > To: messa...@iers.org > > ************************************************************************ > IERS Message No. 450 February 14, 2022 > ************************************************************************ > > > Announcement of new IERS RS/PC website > > > The U.S. Naval Observatory's Earth Orientation department is pleased to > announce the re-opening of the official IERS Rapid Service / Prediction > Center website at the following URL address: > > https://maia.usno.navy.mil > > Starting Feb 10, 2022, this site will be the primary public source for > data products published by the IERS Rapid Service / Prediction Center, > as well as the primary source for announcements and information > concerning those products.
