IRNSS Orbit Determination and Broadcast Ephemeris Assessment
نویسنده
چکیده
The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) is an emerging satellite based navigation system offering an independent positioning and timing service over India and neighboring regions. Based on satellite laser ranging data collected by selected stations of the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) precise orbits have been determined for the first pair of inclined geosynchronous satellites (IRNSS-1A/B). These orbits are used to assess the quality of the IRNSS navigation messages. A Signalin-Space Range Error (SISRE) at the five meter level is confirmed, which is consistent with the accuracy assessment given in the message itself. Even though the current 3 satellite constellation does not yet support standalone navigation, the results offer a first indication of the navigation quality that can be expected by future users in the area.

A Robust Method to Detect BeiDou Navigation Satellite System Orbit Maneuvering/Anomalies and Its Applications to Precise Orbit Determination
The failure to detect anomalies and maneuvering of the orbits of navigation satellite sensors will deteriorate the performance of positioning and orbit determination. Motivated by the influence of the frequent maneuvering of BDS GEO and IGSO satellites, this paper analyzes the limitations of existing methods, where BDS orbit maneuvering and anomalies can be detected, and develops a method to so...
متن کاملPolynomial interpolation of GPS satellite coordinates
The computation of satellite positions is a fundamental task in all GPS positioning software. The data needed for this computation can come in the form of a broadcast or a precise ephemeris. The broadcast ephemeris is available from the GPS, as a set of parameters is sent to the user via the navigation message. The parameters are updated by the control center quite frequently, approximately eve...
متن کاملAutonomous broadcast ephemeris improvement for GNSS using inter-satellite ranging measurements
This paper discusses the concept of using inter-satellite ranging (ISR) measurements of the satellites of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for autonomous broadcast ephemeris improvement. Firstly the inter-satellite ranging is modeled to obtain the clock and orbit error observables. The orbit error observable is analyzed and its observation equation is provided. Both least-squares est...
متن کاملImpacts of Satellite Orbit and Clock on Real-Time GPS Point and Relative Positioning
Satellite orbit and clock corrections are always treated as known quantities in GPS positioning models. Therefore, any error in the satellite orbit and clock products will probably cause significant consequences for GPS positioning, especially for real-time applications. Currently three types of satellite products have been made available for real-time positioning, including the broadcast ephem...
متن کاملA Real-Time Robust Method to Detect BeiDou GEO/IGSO Orbital Maneuvers
The frequent maneuvering of BeiDou Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (IGSO) satellites affects the availability of real-time orbit, and decreases the accuracy and performance of positioning, navigation and time (PNT) services. BeiDou satellite maneuver information cannot be obtained by common users. BeiDou broadcast ephemeris is the only indicator of the health status ...
