Contents Introduction of PANDA software Strategy for Real-time POD Strategy for Real-time Clock Preliminary Results Summary
Introduction of PANDA PANDA : Positioning And Navigation Data Analyst To derive possible information from GNSS/SLR/ VLBI data in real-time and post-mission Developed at Wuhan University since 2001 Current Applications –POD of GNSS&GEO (COMPASS, GPS) –POD of LEOs, CHAMP GRACE (Delft University), COSMIC (JiaoTong Uni. Taiwan) –Huge Network (NEIS) –PPP+Ambiguity-Fixing(GFZ, Nottingham Uni) –…..
PANDA System Structure
New Development: Real-Time PPP Based Positioning Service System –Real-time GPS orbits –Real-time GPS Satellite Clock Offsets –Precise Point Positioning Funded by –the Program 973 (No:2006CB701301) –Real-time Precise Positioning Service Prototype System (863) –Real-time POD for LEOs (863)
The Strategy For RT-POD Two Steps: Generate NEQs of short ARCs Combine NEQs to estiamte orbits Key Issues: Ambiguity-Fixing Weight of predicted orbits Constrained Parameter: Orbit boundaries Ambiguities ZTD, ERP
Parallel Combination Combine hourly NEQs Time-Consuming 1.Save the combined NEQs of the last n-1,n-2, …,1 hours 2.Combined the last hourly NEQ with the saved combined NEQs 3.Only one combination (red) must be done in real-time Time-Saving Fast restart with saved (combined) NEQ
Orbital Boundary Constraints Juncture Connected Not connected Osculating orbital elements
NEQs: Juncture constraint: Solution with the Constraints
Stratgy For RT Clocks Two approaches are developed: Estimate SatClock Epoch-by- Epoch(1hz) Estimate SatClock Difference between Epoch
Preliminary Results The distribution of the 70 IGS stations for Real time satellite orbit determination (70stations) Rinex data are inputted as stream through simulated real-time model Test Network
