To optimize the quality of these ultra-rapid orbit products, we investigated the effects of the fitting arc length, an a priori Solar-Radiation Pressure (SRP) model, and the along-track empirical acceleration on the prediction of BDS GEO satellite orbits. The predicted orbit arcs of 24-h were evaluated through comparisons with the corresponding observed orbit arc and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observations. In both eclipse and non-eclipse seasons, accuracy of the orbit predictions obtained using a 48-h fitting arc length were better than those obtained using 24-h and 72-h fitting arc lengths. Although the overlapping precision of predicted orbits exhibited no obvious improvement when an a priori SRP model was employed, the systematic bias in the SLR residuals was significantly reduced. Specifically, the mean value of SLR residuals decreased from −0.248 m to −0.024 m during non-eclipse seasons and from −0.333 m to −0.041 m during eclipse seasons, respectively. In addition, when an empirical acceleration in the along-track direction was introduced, the three-Dimensional Root-Mean-Square (3D RMS) of overlapping orbits during eclipse seasons decreased from 2.964 to 1.080 m, which is comparable to that during non-eclipse seasons. Furthermore, the Standard Deviation (STD) of SLR residuals decreased from 0.419 to 0.221 m during eclipse seasons. The analysis of SRP estimates shows that the stability of SRP parameters was significantly enhanced after the introduction of along-track empirical acceleration in eclipse seasons. The optimal BDS GEO ultra-rapid orbit prediction products were yielded by using a 48-h fitting arc length, an a priori SRP model and an along-track empirical acceleration.

Real-time clock prediction of multi-GNSS satellites and its application in precise point positioning / Yaquan Peng in Advances in space research, vol 64 n°7 (1 October 2019)  

Public [article]  inAdvances in space research > vol 64 n°7 (1 October 2019) . - pp 1445 - 1454 Titre : Real-time clock prediction of multi-GNSS satellites and its application in precise point positioning Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yaquan Peng, Auteur ; Yidong Lou, Auteur ; Xiaopeng Gong, Auteur ; YinTong Wang, Auteur ; Xiaolei Dai, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 1445 - 1454 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] horloge atomique [Termes IGN] horloge du satellite [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement par Galileo [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] prédiction [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) With the development of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), multi-GNSS is expected to greatly benefit precise point positioning (PPP), especially during the outage of real time service (RTS). In this paper, we focus on the performance of multi-GNSS satellite clock prediction and its application in real-time PPP. Based on the statistical analysis of multi-system satellite clock products, a model consisting of polynomial and periodic terms is employed for multi-system satellite clock prediction. To evaluate the method proposed, both post-processed and real-time satellite clock products are employed in simulated real-time processing mode. The results show that the accuracy of satellite clock prediction is related to atomic clock type and satellite type. For GPS satellites, the average standard deviations (STDs) of Cs atomic clocks will reach as high as 0.65 ns while the STD of Rb atomic clocks is only about 0.15 ns. As for BDS and Galileo, the average STD of 2-hour satellite clock prediction are 0.30 ns and 0.06 ns, respectively. In addition, it is validated that real-time PPP can still achieve positioning accuracy of one to three decimeters by using products of 2-hour satellite clock prediction. Moreover, compared to the results of GPS-only PPP, multi-system can greatly enhance the accuracy of real-time PPP from 12.5% to 18.5% in different situations.

Benefits of satellite clock modeling in BDS and Galileo orbit determination / Yun Qing in Advances in space research, vol 60 n° 12 (15 December 2017)  

Public [article]  inAdvances in space research > vol 60 n° 12 (15 December 2017) . - pp 2550 - 2560 Titre : Benefits of satellite clock modeling in BDS and Galileo orbit determination Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yun Qing, Auteur ; Yidong Lou, Auteur ; Xiaolei Dai, Auteur ; Yang Liu, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp 2550 - 2560 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes IGN] constellation Galileo [Termes IGN] horloge atomique [Termes IGN] modèle numérique [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] résidu Résumé : (auteur) In the process of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) satellite orbit determination, satellite clocks are typically estimated as epoch-wise white noise in addition to the satellite orbit parameters. This results in high correlation between the satellite clock estimates and the satellite orbits, especially the radial component. In this paper, an appropriate clock model is proposed to constrain the satellite clock estimates in order to improve the accuracy of satellite orbits. SLR residuals and Day Boundary Discontinuities (DBDs) were used to assess the orbit quality. The benefits of satellite clock modeling in BDS and Galileo orbit determination is validated by experimental data sets. The results show that for satellites equipped with highly stable clocks, employing an appropriate linear model constraint for the clock estimates in orbit determination can result in an improved orbit consistency as well as accuracy. In detail, for Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, C12, C14, E11, E12 and E19, the improvements of DBDs range from 10% to 20%. Furthermore, the Standard Deviation (STD) of Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) residuals were improved up to 30% for the Galileo satellites (using a passive hydrogen maser clock).

Estimating the yaw-attitude of an BDS IGSO and MEO satellites / Xiaolei Dai in Journal of geodesy, vol 89 n° 10 (october 2015)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 89 n° 10 (october 2015) . - pp 1005-1018 Titre : Estimating the yaw-attitude of an BDS IGSO and MEO satellites Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xiaolei Dai, Auteur ; Maorong Ge, Auteur ; Yidong Lou, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp 1005-1018 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes IGN] instabilité du vecteur (télédétection) [Termes IGN] lacet [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] orientation du capteur [Termes IGN] positionnement par BeiDou [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis Résumé : (auteur) Precise knowledge and consistent modeling of the yaw-attitude of GNSS satellites are essential for high-precision data processing and applications. As the exact attitude control mechanism for the satellites of the BeiDou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) is not yet released, the reverse kinematic precise point positioning (PPP) method was applied in our study. However, we confirm that the recent precise orbit determination (POD) processing for GPS satellites could not provide suitable products for estimating BDS attitude using the reverse PPP because of the special attitude control switching between the nominal and the orbit-normal mode. In our study, we propose a modified processing schema for studying the attitude behavior of the BDS satellites. In this approach, the observations of the satellites during and after attitude switch are excluded in the POD processing, so that the estimates, which are needed in the reverse PPP, are not contaminated by the inaccurate initial attitude mode. The modified process is validated by experimental data sets and the attitude yaw-angles of the BDS IGSO and MEO satellites are estimated with an accuracy of better than 9∘. Furthermore, the results confirm that the switch is executed when the Sun elevation is about 4∘ and the actual orientation is very close to its target one. Based on the estimated yaw-angles, a preliminary attitude switch model was established and reintroduced into the POD, yielding to a substantial improvement in the orbit overlap RMS.

Accuracy and reliability of multi-GNSS real-time precise positioning: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo / Xinging Li in Journal of geodesy, vol 89 n° 6 (June 2015)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 89 n° 6 (June 2015) . - pp 607-635 Titre : Accuracy and reliability of multi-GNSS real-time precise positioning: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xinging Li, Auteur ; Maorong Ge, Auteur ; Xiaolei Dai, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp 607-635 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] fiabilité des données [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] positionnement ponctuel précis [Termes IGN] précision du positionnement [Termes IGN] signal BeiDou [Termes IGN] signal Galileo [Termes IGN] signal GLONASS [Termes IGN] signal GPS [Termes IGN] temps réel Résumé : (auteur) In this contribution, we present a GPS+GLONASS+BeiDou+Galileo four-system model to fully exploit the observations of all these four navigation satellite systems for real-time precise orbit determination, clock estimation and positioning. A rigorous multi-GNSS analysis is performed to achieve the best possible consistency by processing the observations from different GNSS together in one common parameter estimation procedure. Meanwhile, an efficient multi-GNSS real-time precise positioning service system is designed and demonstrated by using the multi-GNSS Experiment, BeiDou Experimental Tracking Network, and International GNSS Service networks including stations all over the world. The statistical analysis of the 6-h predicted orbits show that the radial and cross root mean square (RMS) values are smaller than 10 cm for BeiDou and Galileo, and smaller than 5 cm for both GLONASS and GPS satellites, respectively. The RMS values of the clock differences between real-time and batch-processed solutions for GPS satellites are about 0.10 ns, while the RMS values for BeiDou, Galileo and GLONASS are 0.13, 0.13 and 0.14 ns, respectively. The addition of the BeiDou, Galileo and GLONASS systems to the standard GPS-only processing, reduces the convergence time almost by 70 %, while the positioning accuracy is improved by about 25 %. Some outliers in the GPS-only solutions vanish when multi-GNSS observations are processed simultaneous. The availability and reliability of GPS precise positioning decrease dramatically as the elevation cutoff increases. However, the accuracy of multi-GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) is hardly decreased and few centimeter are still achievable in the horizontal components even with 40∘ elevation cutoff. At 30∘ and 40∘ elevation cutoffs, the availability rates of GPS-only solution drop significantly to only around 70 and 40 %, respectively. However, multi-GNSS PPP can provide precise position estimates continuously (availability rate is more than 99.5 %) even up to 40∘ elevation cutoff (e.g., in urban canyons).
