H.1.4 GEPA/B EPHEMERIS INFORMATION
GLONASS ephemerides are referenced to the Parametry Zemli 1990 (PZ-90) geodetic datum, and GLONASS
ephemeris information is available through the GEPA/B log. GLONASS coordinates are reconciled internally
through a position filter and output to WGS84. Refer to the SVDA/B log in the MiLLennium Command
Descriptions Manual for information on WGS84.
