[IGSSTATION-7755] - 2019-10-03 (03/10/2019)
The communications system at Darwin (DARW) stopped functioning at 2019-10-02 23:30 UTC. We are working to investigate the issue and rectify it.
[IGSSTATION-7251] - 2018-02-19 (26/02/2018)
A mains power outage has occurred at the station DARW which has now depleted our backup battery power supply. Technicians will be visiting the site this week to investigate further and carry out any necessary repairs.
[IGSSTATION-6556] - 2016-03-08 (15/03/2016)
Due to a lightning strike the power at the station DARW is currently down. Technicians will be visiting the station next week to undertake repairs.
Further notification will be given once the station has been restored.
[IGSSTATION-5333] - 2013-03-08 (11/03/2013)
Please be advised that the Leica GRX1200GG Pro receiver at DARW has had a firmware update from 8.20/3.019 to 8.51/3.019 at 2013-03-8T00:00Z to fix a small receiver management issue. There was a small data outage.
[IGSSTATION-5225] - 2012-12-17 (18/12/2012)
The comms at DARW have been restored. The receiver and antennae do not appeared to have been damaged and the backlog of data has been downloaded. During the period from DOY 336 – 352, real time and high rate products will not be available.
Remaining [IGSSTATION-5205]: Please be advised that DARW (FW 8.20/3.019) has suffered a comms outage since DOY 336 due to a local lightning strike. We believe the receiver is still collecting data, however the comms might take some time to fix. It is possible the outage could extend into the new year.
