but it's the sort of thing that can easily break software written on the assumption of a one-to-one relationship. Testing systems against this code would be prudent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Proposed Code : 335X <br>
Name : <a href="http://vocab.ices.dk/Request/Default.aspx?id=10740" target="_blank" id="LPlnk342617">
TOPEX Poseidon</a> <br>
Country(s) : FR: FRANCE; US: UNITED STATES (ISO Country Code) <br>
Platform Class : 65: Orbiting satellite <br>
Commissioned Date : 1992-08-10 <br>
Decommissioned Date : 2005-10-09 <br>
Current Length : 5.5 <br>
Notes : TOPEX/Poseidon (or simply T/P) is a cooperative Earth observation mission of the USA and France (NASA/JPL and CNES as partners) with the overall objective to provide high-accuracy global sea level (ocean height) measurements in coordinates relative
to the center of the Earth. From this information, ocean circulation patterns can be mapped. NASA provided the satellite bus, five instruments, and is responsible for spacecraft operations.
