information is available on UNIT 8

X-coordinates 5
11-12 I2 Maximum Order of Fourier Coefficients for
Y-coordinates 5

Correction Tables 14
NOTE 1: This corrects the observation from the reflecting corner cube
back to a fixed point on the spacecraft. It is also station
dependent and is tied to the laser tracking station detector
type specified on the INSTRMNT card. This must be used in
conjunction with the OFFSET and CGMASS cards to get the
complete range correction from the corner cube to the
spacecraft CG.
Currently, this option can only be used for the TOPEX
satellite.
IF CARD OMITTED: No lra range corrections will be read or used.
