Abstract Improving and homogenizing time space reference systems on Earth and, more specifically, realizing the Terrestrial Reference Frame (TRF) with an accuracy of 1 mm a long-term stability 0.1 mm/year are relevant for many scientific societal endeavors. The knowledge TRF is fundamental navigation sciences. For instance, quantifying sea level change strongly depends accurate determination geocenter motion but also positions continental island stations, such as those located at tide...
[1] We present a method to derive velocity uncertainties from GPS position time series that are affected by time-correlated noise. This is based on the Allan variance, which widely used in estimation of oscillator stability and requires neither spectral analysis nor maximum likelihood (MLE). The variance rate (AVR) calculated domain hence not too sensitive gaps series. We derived analytical expressions AVR for different kinds noises like power law noise, white flicker random walk found an...
Sentinel-1A is the first satellite of European Copernicus programme. Equipped with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument was launched on April 3, 2014. Operational since October 2014 delivers valuable data for more than two years. The orbit accuracy requirements are given as 5 cm in 3D. In order to fulfill this stringent requirement precise determination (POD) based dual-frequency GPS observations delivered by an eight-channel receiver. POD (CPOD) Service charge providing orbital and...
Abstract Different from differential code biases, the observable-specific biases (OSBs) directly describe of individual pseudorange measurements, which provide full flexibilities for multi-GNSS handling. We present method parameterization, computation and alignment OSBs as part local ionospheric modeling. As a representative example, GPS L1/L2/L5 GLONASS L1/L2 were estimated during 2017–2018 independent International GNSS Service (IGS) its experimental (MGEX) network stations. The stability...
China's BeiDou satellite navigation system (BDS) has completed its full constellation in orbit since June 2020. Services have been evolved from regional (BDS-2) to global (BDS-3). This contribution evaluates the impact of solar radiation pressure (SRP) modeling on orbits and geodetic parameters. To that end, we process 2 years BDS observations (2019-2021), collected by a network 100 ground stations. A physical priori box-wing model based estimated optical properties is introduced. Various...
Absolute rotation rate sensing with extreme sensitivity requires a combination of several large scale gyroscopes in order to obtain the full vector rotation. We report on construction and operation four-component, tetrahedral laser gyroscope array as five story building situated near surface, underground laboratory. It is demonstrated that reconstruction Earth can be achieved sub-arcsecond resolution over more than six weeks.Received 3 February 2020Accepted 18 June...
