Because the ITRF2005 combination revealed a scale inconsistency between SLR and VLBI solutions of 1.0 ppb at epoch 2000.0 and a scale rate of 0.08 ppb/yr, and the fact that the ITRF2005 scale is defined by VLBI, it was decided to make available to SLR users an SLR solution extracted from the ITRF2005 and re-scaled back by the aforementioned scale and scale rate. This solution is available at ftp://itrf.ensg.ign.fr/pub/itrf/itrf2005 provided in two SINEX files:

• ITRF2005_ILRS_rescaled.SNX: station positions expressed at epoch 2000.0
• ITRF2005_ILRS_rescaled-MV.SNX: station positions expressed at epochs of minimum variances

Two corresponding tables listing station positions and velocities with their sigmas are also available:

ITRF2005_SLR-rescaled.SSC
ITRF2005_SLR-rescaled-MV.SSC
