  • Orbit Determination With NASA's High Accuracy Real-Time Global Differential GPS System
    GPS orbits and clocks are computed in real-time with data from NASA's global GPS network. The accuracy of the GPS orbits and reference frame alignment to ITRF'97 is discussed. The dissemination of the global correction message is over the Internet, and a signal-in-space (SIS) is provided by America's Inmarsat satellite. The SIS will soon expand for global coverage with Inmarsat's ASPAC (Asia/Pacific) and EMEA (Europe/Africa) satellites yielding coverage over the entire globe between +/-75 degrees in latitude. The inherent latency in providing the corrections to the user through the geosynchronous satellites is shown to have little impact on true real-time positioning. Orbit determination, post-processed but filtered as if in real-time, of a low-Earth orbiter's GPS data using the real-time orbit and clock products will be presented. Anticipated plans call for uploading the code to a space-qualified receiver and performing orbit determination with the GPS differential global corrections as transmitted by the Inmarsat beams.

  • Results of an Internet-Based Dual-Frequency Global Differential GPS System
    Observables from a global network of 18 GPS receivers are returned in real-time to JPL over the open Internet. Global GPS orbits accurate to 30-40 cms RSS and precise dual-frequency GPS clocks are computed in real-time with JPL's Real-Time Gipsy (RTG) software. Corrections to the broadcast orbits and clocks are communicated to the user over the open Internet via a TCP server. Tests of user positioning show real-time RMS accuracy of 8 cms RMS in horizontal and 20 cms RMS in the vertical.

  • An Internet-Based Global Differential GPS System, Initial Results
    Using a network of 15 global GPS receivers, GPS data is returning to JPL via the open Internet to determine the orbits and clocks of the GPS constellation in real-time. Corrections to the broadcast orbits and clocks are currently communicated in real-time to the user over the open Internet via a TCP server. Tests of user positioning show real-time RMS accuracy of ~10 cms RMS in horizontal and < 20 cms RMS in the vertical.

  • Flight Tests Demonstrate Sub 50 cms RMS Vertical WADGPS Positioning
    Wide Area Differential GPS (WADGPS) positioning is performed in real-time during NASA's DC-8 AirSAR flights. The goal of the experiment is to demonstrate absolute positioning in earth-fixed coordinates to better than one meter in all components in real-time. Results show dual-frequency real-time RMS (root-mean-square) accuracy in the vertical to be 50-60 cms with an RMS horizontal accuracy of better than 40 cms.
