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.

Orbit error removal in InSAR/MTInSAR with a patch-based polynomial model / Yanan Du in International journal of applied Earth observation and geoinformation, vol 102 (October 2021)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of applied Earth observation and geoinformation > vol 102 (October 2021) . - n° 102438 Titre : Orbit error removal in InSAR/MTInSAR with a patch-based polynomial model Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yanan Du, Auteur ; Hai Qiang Fu, Auteur ; Lin Liu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 102438 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image radar et applications [Termes IGN] image ALOS-PALSAR [Termes IGN] image radar moirée [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-SAR [Termes IGN] interferométrie différentielle [Termes IGN] jeu de données [Termes IGN] modèle d'erreur [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] transformation polynomiale Résumé : (auteur) The orbit error caused by the inaccuracy of the orbit state vector can lead to fringes in differential interferograms, which can impede the estimation of deformation in differential SAR interferometry (DInSAR) applications. Usually, a set of polynomial coefficients for an entire SAR image is obtained for orbit error removal. However, the orbit error plane is influenced by overfitting in the case that the SAR satellites do not have a precise orbit. In this paper, a patch-based polynomial method is proposed to fit the orbit error plane. The new method divides an SAR image into several overlapping patches in the azimuth and range directions. Every patch obtains its own polynomial coefficients, and an iterative least-square method is used to mosaic the orbit plane. This method is tested and validated via a simulated dataset and then applied to ALOS1/2 PALSAR and Sentinel-1A datasets. The accuracy of deformation is evaluated by in situ GPS datasets. The results show that the patch-based method can fit the orbit phase plane more accurately than the traditional polynomial model with millimeter-level displacement improvement, especially in the margin areas of ALOS1/2 and for the wide-coverage Sentinel-1A datasets. Moreover, in the MTInSAR parameter calculations, the new method improves the accuracy of mean velocity calculations for ALOS1 time series, with a reduction of RMSE from 4.47 mm/yr to 3.17 mm/yr. Additionally, the new method reduces the spatial correlation of the residual topographic phase, with a mean value reduction from 0.32 m to 0.13 m.

Currently, the CNES/CLS, Wuhan University and CODE have published GPS integer phase clock products applied to single-satellite ambiguity fixing. In this paper, the integer phase clock method is used for single-satellite ambiguity fixing, and it is applied to the precise orbit determination of LEO satellite. Then, the application performances of integer phase clock products provided by different agencies in single-satellite ambiguity fixing and LEO satellite orbit determination are compared and analyzed. For GRACE-FO formation satellites, about 94% ambiguities could be fixed based on different products provided by the three agencies. Orbit solutions generated using the products from the three agencies can achieve an RMS of around 0.9 cm checked by satellite laser ranging data. Compared with ambiguity-float orbit solutions, the accuracy of absolute orbit determination with single-satellite ambiguity fixing is improved by about 30%. After fixing single-satellite ambiguities using the different products provided by CNES/CLS, WHU and CODE, respectively, the RMS of K-band ranging validation residuals for relative orbit solutions are reduced from 5.7, 5.4 and 5.3 mm to 2.1、 2.0 and 1.5 mm, respectively. The results show that the integer phase clock products provided by different agencies have similar performances in the single-satellite ambiguity fixing and orbit determination of GRACE-FO satellite.

Determination of precise Galileo orbits using combined GNSS and SLR observations / Grzegorz Bury in GPS solutions, vol 25 n° 1 (January 2021)

In this study, we develop a methodology for the GNSS-SLR combination at the normal equation level with three different weighting strategies and evaluate the impact of laser observations on the determined Galileo orbits. We provide the optimum weighting scheme for precise orbit determination employing the co-location onboard Galileo. The combined GNSS-SLR solution diminishes the semimajor axis formal error by up to 62%, as well as reduces the dependency between values of formal errors and the elevation of the Sun above the orbital plane—the β angle. In the combined solution, the standard deviation of the SLR residuals decreases from 36.1 to 29.6 mm for Galileo-IOV satellites and |β|> 60°, when compared to GNSS-only solutions. Moreover, the bias of the Length-of-Day parameter is 20% lower for the combined solution when compared to the microwave one. As a result, the combination of GNSS and SLR observations provides promising results for future co-locations onboard the Galileo satellites for the orbit determination, realization of the terrestrial reference frames, and deriving geodetic parameters.

Reference system origin and scale realization within the future GNSS constellation “Kepler” / Susanne Glaser in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 12 (December 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 12 (December 2020) . - n° 117 Titre : Reference system origin and scale realization within the future GNSS constellation “Kepler” Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Susanne Glaser, Auteur ; Grzegorz Michalak, Auteur ; Benjamin Männel, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 117 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes IGN] centre de phase [Termes IGN] constellation Galileo [Termes IGN] constellation GNSS [Termes IGN] décorrélation [Termes IGN] géocentre [Termes IGN] International Terrestrial Reference Frame [Termes IGN] Kepler, Johannes [Termes IGN] orbite basse [Termes IGN] orbite terrestre [Termes IGN] orbitographie Résumé : (auteur) Currently, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) do not contribute to the realization of origin and scale of combined global terrestrial reference frame (TRF) solutions due to present system design limitations. The future Galileo-like medium Earth orbit (MEO) constellation, called “Kepler”, proposed by the German Aerospace Center DLR, is characterized by a low Earth orbit (LEO) segment and the innovative key features of optical inter-satellite links (ISL) delivering highly precise range measurements and of optical frequency references enabling a perfect time synchronization within the complete constellation. In this study, the potential improvements of the Kepler constellation on the TRF origin and scale are assessed by simulations. The fully developed Kepler system allows significant improvements of the geocenter estimates (realized TRF origin in long-term). In particular, we find improvements by factors of 43 for the Z and of 8 for the X and Y component w. r. t. a contemporary MEO-only constellation. Furthermore, the Kepler constellation increases the reliability due to a complete de-correlation of the geocenter coordinates and the orbit parameters related to the solar radiation pressure modeling (SRP). However, biases in SRP modeling cause biased geocenter estimates and the ISL of Kepler can only partly compensate this effect. The realized scale enabling all Kepler features improves by 34% w. r. t. MEO-only. The dependency of the estimated satellite antenna phase center offsets (PCOs) upon the underlying TRF impedes a scale realization by GNSS. In order to realize the network scale with 1 mm accuracy, the PCOs have to be known within 2 cm for the MEO and 4 mm for the LEO satellites. Independently, the scale can be realized by estimating the MEO PCOs and by simultaneously fixing the LEO PCOs. This requires very accurate LEO PCOs; the simulations suggest them to be smaller than 1 mm in order to keep scale changes below 1 mm.
