Among the ongoing tasks of LEO-based navigation, providing broadcast ephemerides that satisfy the accuracy requirement for positioning, navigation, and timing is one of the most critical prerequisites. Singularities can occur when fitting broadcast ephemeris parameters in the case of a small eccentricity or small or large inclination. We choose an improved nonsingular element set for the LEO broadcast ephemeris design. We establish suitable broadcast ephemeris models, considering the fit accuracy, number of parameters, orbital altitude, and inclination. The fit accuracy using different orbital altitudes, orbital inclinations, and eccentricities suggests that the optimal parameters are n˙, n¨, Crc3, Crs3, Cλc3, and Cλs3, together with the basic broadcast ephemeris model. After adding these six parameters, a fit accuracy of better than 10 cm can be achieved with a 20 min arc length and 500–1400 km orbital altitudes. The effects of the number of parameters, orbital altitude, inclination, and eccentricity on the fit accuracy are discussed in detail. Finally, the performance is validated with real LEO satellites to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Influence of subdaily model for polar motion on the estimated GPS satellite orbits / Natalia Panafidina in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 2 (February 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 93 n° 2 (February 2019) . - pp 229 - 240 Titre : Influence of subdaily model for polar motion on the estimated GPS satellite orbits Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Natalia Panafidina, Auteur ; Urs Hugentobler, Auteur ; Manuela Seitz, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 229 - 240 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] analyse diachronique [Termes IGN] élément orbital [Termes IGN] erreur systématique [Termes IGN] International Terrestrial Reference Frame [Termes IGN] marée océanique [Termes IGN] mouvement du géocentre [Termes IGN] mouvement du pôle [Termes IGN] orbite [Termes IGN] positionnement par GPS [Termes IGN] rotation de la Terre [Termes IGN] satellite GPS [Termes IGN] traitement du signal Résumé : (auteur) In this contribution, it is shown that GPS orbits are able to absorb some diurnal signals in polar motion. The arising implications for the influence of the subdaily pole model on GPS solutions are discussed. Two signals in polar motion can be absorbed by GPS orbits: a retrograde signal with a period of a sidereal day (23 h 56 min 4 s) and a prograde signal with a period matching the revolution period of the GPS satellites in the terrestrial reference frame (23 h 55 min 56 s). We show that the retrograde signal contributes to the absolute orientation of the orbital planes in space and the prograde signal, due to coincidence of its period with the period of revolution of the GPS satellites, contributes to the position of the geocenter for each individual satellite. It is known from previous studies that there are systematic differences between orbital parameters from GPS solutions computed with different subdaily pole models. We show in this paper that this behavior can be explained by the absorption effects in 1-day GPS orbits. Diurnal signals cannot be spectrally separated over a time interval of 1 day. Adjustment of any diurnal prograde or retrograde signal to a subdaily pole time series given by a subdaily model over 24 h will lead to an estimated signal with a nonzero amplitude. Thus, any subdaily pole model used in the processing of space geodetic observations contains a part which corresponds numerically to the discussed prograde signal and a part which corresponds to the retrograde diurnal signal. Different pole models show different amplitudes of the diurnal signals which will be absorbed by the orbits. As a result, GPS orbits computed with different subdaily pole models have systematically different orientation and position in space. Using 1-day GPS solutions over a time span of 13 years (1994–2007), we show that the systematic variations in orbit position and orientation caused by individual tidal terms in polar motion can be well predicted and explained by the suggested mechanism.

Interferometric processing of Sentinel-1 TOPS Data / Néstor Yagüe-Martínez in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 54 n° 4 (April 2016)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > vol 54 n° 4 (April 2016) . - pp 2220 - 2234 Titre : Interferometric processing of Sentinel-1 TOPS Data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Néstor Yagüe-Martínez, Auteur ; Pau Prats-Iraola, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : pp 2220 - 2234 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image radar et applications [Termes IGN] effet Doppler [Termes IGN] élément orbital [Termes IGN] image radar moirée [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-SAR [Termes IGN] Image TOPS [Termes IGN] interféromètrie par radar à antenne synthétique [Termes IGN] largeur de bande Résumé : (Auteur) Sentinel-1 (S-1) has an unparalleled mapping capacity. In interferometric wide swath (IW) mode, three subswaths imaged in the novel Terrain Observation by Progressive Scans (TOPS) SAR mode result in a total swath width of 250 km. S-1 has become the European workhorse for large area mapping and interferometric monitoring at medium resolution. The interferometric processing of TOPS data however requires special consideration of the signal properties, resulting from the ScanSAR-type burst imaging and the antenna beam steering in azimuth. The high Doppler rate in azimuth sets very stringent coregistration requirements, making the use of enhanced spectral diversity (ESD) necessary to obtain the required fine azimuth coregistration accuracy. Other unique aspects of processing IW data, such as azimuth spectral filtering, image resampling, and data deramping and reramping, are reviewed, giving a recipe-like description that enables the user community to use S-1 IW mode repeat-pass SAR data. Interferometric results from S-1A are provided, demonstrating the mapping capacity of the S-1 system and its interferometric suitability for geophysical applications. An interferometric evaluation of a coherent interferometric pair over Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, is provided, where several aspects related to coregistration, deramping, and synchronization are analyzed. Additionally, a spatiotemporal evaluation of the along-track shifts, which are directly related to the orbital/instrument timing error, measured from the SAR data is shown, which justifies the necessity to refine the azimuth shifts with ESD. The spatial evaluation indicates high stability of the azimuth shifts for several slices of a datatake.

The impact of common versus separate estimation of orbit parameters on GRACE gravity field solutions / U. Meyer in Journal of geodesy, vol 89 n° 7 (July 2015)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 89 n° 7 (July 2015) . - pp 685 - 696 Titre : The impact of common versus separate estimation of orbit parameters on GRACE gravity field solutions Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : U. Meyer, Auteur ; Adrian Jäggi, Auteur ; Gerhard Beutler, Auteur ; Heike Bock, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp 685 - 696 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] données GRACE [Termes IGN] élément orbital [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] paramètre de temps [Termes IGN] propagation du signal [Termes IGN] traitement du signal Résumé : (auteur) Gravity field parameters are usually determined from observations of the GRACE satellite mission together with arc-specific parameters in a generalized orbit determination process. When separating the estimation of gravity field parameters from the determination of the satellites’ orbits, correlations between orbit parameters and gravity field coefficients are ignored and the latter parameters are biased towards the a priori force model. We are thus confronted with a kind of hidden regularization. To decipher the underlying mechanisms, the Celestial Mechanics Approach is complemented by tools to modify the impact of the pseudo-stochastic arc-specific parameters on the normal equations level and to efficiently generate ensembles of solutions. By introducing a time variable a priori model and solving for hourly pseudo-stochastic accelerations, a significant reduction of noisy striping in the monthly solutions can be achieved. Setting up more frequent pseudo-stochastic parameters results in a further reduction of the noise, but also in a notable damping of the observed geophysical signals. To quantify the effect of the a priori model on the monthly solutions, the process of fixing the orbit parameters is replaced by an equivalent introduction of special pseudo-observations, i.e., by explicit regularization. The contribution of the thereby introduced a priori information is determined by a contribution analysis. The presented mechanism is valid universally. It may be used to separate any subset of parameters by pseudo-observations of a special design and to quantify the damage imposed on the solution.

Impact of the atmospheric drag on Starlette, Stella, Ajisai, and Lares Orbits / Krzysztof Sosnica in Artificial satellites, vol 50 n° 1 (March 2015)

The appropriate modeling of non-gravitational forces is essential for the orbit determination of artificial Earth satellites. The atmospheric drag is a dominating perturbing force for satellites at low altitudes up to about 700-1000 km. This article addresses the impact of the atmospheric drag on mean semi-major axes and orbital eccentricities of geodetic spherical satellites: Starlette, Stella, AJISAI, and LARES. Atmospheric drag causes the semi-major axis decays amounting to about ▲a = -1.2, -.12, -.14, and -.30 m/year for LARES, AJISAI, Starlette, and Stella, respectively. The density of the upper atmosphere strongly depends on the solar and geomagnetic activity. The atmospheric drag affects the along-track orbit component to the largest extent, and the out-of-plane to a small extent, whereas the radial component is almost unaffected by the atmospheric drag Numéro de notice : A2015-287 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Article DOI : 10.1515/arsa-2015-0001 En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1515/arsa-2015-0001 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=76406 [article]
