However, only GPS has been widely applied and investigated in GEO missions, whereas GEO OD with BDS requires further exploration. The Chinese GEO satellite TJS-5, equipped with a GPS and BDS-compatible receiver, is the first GEO mission that tracks both BDS 2nd and 3rd generation satellites since BDS global deployment. With the TJS-5 real onboard data, we evaluate BDS side-lobe signal performance and the BDS contribution to GEO OD. Due to transmit antenna gain deficiencies in the side lobes, BDS shows a worse tracking performance than GPS with an average satellite number of 4.3 versus 7.8. Both GPS and BDS reveal inconsistency between carrier-phase and code observations, which reaches several meters and significantly degrades post-dynamic OD calculation. We estimate the consistency as a random walk process in the carrier-phase observation model to reduce its impact. With inconsistency estimated, the post-fit carrier-phase residuals decrease from 0.21 to 0.09 m for both GPS and BDS. The OD precision is significantly improved, from 1.95 to 1.42 m with only GPS and from 3.14 to 2.71 m with only BDS; the GPS and BDS combined OD exhibits the largest improvement from 1.74 to 0.82 m, demonstrating that adding BDS improves the OD precision by 43.3%. The above results indicate that the proposed carrier-phase inconsistency estimation approach is effective for both GPS and BDS and can achieve an orbit precision within 1.0 m using multi-GNSS measurements.

Adaptive Kalman filter for real-time precise orbit determination of low earth orbit satellites based on pseudorange and epoch-differenced carrier-phase measurements / Min Li in Remote sensing, vol 14 n° 9 (May-1 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing > vol 14 n° 9 (May-1 2022) . - n° 2273 Titre : Adaptive Kalman filter for real-time precise orbit determination of low earth orbit satellites based on pseudorange and epoch-differenced carrier-phase measurements Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Min Li, Auteur ; Tianhe Xu, Auteur ; Yali Shi, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 2273 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] ambiguïté entière [Termes IGN] filtre adaptatif [Termes IGN] filtre de Kalman [Termes IGN] matrice de covariance [Termes IGN] mesurage de phase [Termes IGN] orbite basse [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] orbitographie par GNSS [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) Real-time precise orbit determination (POD) of low earth orbiters (LEOs) is crucial for orbit maintenance as well as autonomous operation for space missions. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become the dominant technique for real-time precise orbit determination (POD) of LEOs. However, the observation conditions of near-earth space are more critical than those on the ground. Real-time POD accuracy can be seriously affected when the observation environment suffers from strong space events, i.e., a heavy solar storm. In this study, we proposed a reliable adaptive Kalman filter based on pseudorange and epoch-differenced carrier-phase measurements. This approach uses the epoch-differenced carrier phase to eliminate the ambiguities and thus reduces the significant number of unknown parameters. Real calculations demonstrate that four to five observed GPS satellites is sufficient to solve reliable position parameters. Furthermore, with accurate pseudorange and epoch-differenced carrier-phase-based reference orbits, orbital dynamic disturbance can be detected precisely and reliably with an adaptive Kalman filter. Analyses of Swarm-A POD show that sub-meter level real-time orbit solutions can be obtained when the observation conditions are good. For poor observation conditions such as the GRACE-A satellite on 8 September 2017, when fewer than five GPS satellites were observed for 14% of the observation time, 1–2 m orbital accuracy can still be achieved with the proposed approach.

Sentinel-6A precise orbit determination using a combined GPS/Galileo receiver / Oliver Montenbruck in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 10 (October 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 95 n° 10 (October 2021) . - n° 109 Titre : Sentinel-6A precise orbit determination using a combined GPS/Galileo receiver Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Oliver Montenbruck, Auteur ; Stefan Hackel, Auteur ; Martin Wermuth, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 109 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] altimétrie satellitaire par laser [Termes IGN] étalonnage en vol [Termes IGN] océanographie spatiale [Termes IGN] orbite précise [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] orbitographie par GNSS [Termes IGN] récepteur Galileo [Termes IGN] récepteur GPS Résumé : (auteur) The Sentinel-6 (or Jason-CS) altimetry mission provides a long-term extension of the Topex and Jason-1/2/3 missions for ocean surface topography monitoring. Analysis of altimeter data relies on highly-accurate knowledge of the orbital position and requires radial RMS orbit errors of less than 1.5 cm. For precise orbit determination (POD), the Sentinel-6A spacecraft is equipped with a dual-constellation GNSS receiver. We present the results of Sentinel-6A POD solutions for the first 6 months since launch and demonstrate a 1-cm consistency of ambiguity-fixed GPS-only and Galileo-only solutions with the dual-constellation product. A similar performance (1.3 cm 3D RMS) is achieved in the comparison of kinematic and reduced-dynamic orbits. While Galileo measurements exhibit 30–50% smaller RMS errors than those of GPS, the POD benefits most from the availability of an increased number of satellites in the combined dual-frequency solution. Considering obvious uncertainties in the pre-mission calibration of the GNSS receiver antenna, an independent inflight calibration of the phase centers for GPS and Galileo signal frequencies is required. As such, Galileo observations cannot provide independent scale information and the estimated orbital height is ultimately driven by the employed forces models and knowledge of the center-of-mass location within the spacecraft. Using satellite laser ranging (SLR) from selected high-performance stations, a better than 1 cm RMS consistency of SLR normal points with the GNSS-based orbits is obtained, which further improves to 6 mm RMS when adjusting site-specific corrections to station positions and ranging biases. For the radial orbit component, a bias of less than 1 mm is found from the SLR analysis relative to the mean height of 13 high-performance SLR stations. Overall, the reduced-dynamic orbit determination based on GPS and Galileo tracking is considered to readily meet the altimetry-related Sentinel-6 mission needs for RMS height errors of less than 1.5 cm.

Recently, the Japanese multi-GNSS advanced demonstration of orbit and clock analysis precise point positioning (PPP) service and the new generation of the Australian/New Zealand satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS)-aided PPP service provide free and precise GNSS products that are directly broadcast through the navigation and geostationary earth orbit satellites, respectively. With the high quality of both products shown in this study, a 3D accuracy of centimeters can be achieved in the post-processing mode for the reduced-dynamic orbits of small LEO satellites having a duty cycle down to 40% and at sub-dm to dm level for the kinematic orbits. The results show a promising future for high-accuracy real-time POD onboard LEO satellites benefiting from the precise free-of-charge PPP corrections broadcast by navigation systems or SBAS.
