LBA and VLBI Documentation
This page contains a quick reference guide to
some of the available documentation. Much of
the documentation here is repeated or linked to or from other sections of
the LBA pages. A few pages on the S2 system that may be of historical interst have been retained.
More up-to-date information on operational issues is contained in the
LBA Wiki pages.
