Was used 1960-1983 TDT: Terrestrial Dynamical Time. Was used 1984-2000 TT: Terrestrial Time TAI: International Atomic Time (Temps Atomique International) GPS time = TAI - 19 seconds An example: the Time_Tag class ET 1960-1983 TDT 1984-2000 TT 2001- UTC 1972 - UT1 delta-UT = UT1-UTC (max 0.9 sec) delta-T = TT-UT1
OOP advantages (2/2) An example of inheritance usage: the GroundStation and Satellite classes
Boost::Multiindex The Boost Multi-index Containers Library provides a class template which enables the construction of containers maintaining one or more indiceswith different sorting and access semantics
XML data binding Automatic CodeSynthesis XSD is an open-source, cross-platform W3C XML Schema to C++ data binding compiler
Ancillary data required • Planetary Ephemerides (JPL) • Models of gravitational field and terrestrial/oceans tides (JMG3, EGM96, EG4) • Ground station solutions (IGS) • EOP e Leap seconds (bulletins B e C from IERS, bulletin A from USNO) • Solar and geomagnetic activity indexes (NGDC) • IGS products • ROSA navigation data • OCEANSAT2 attitude • ROSA receiver multipath pattern
Logical model Two main kinds of operational blocks: interface classes and application classes. The first called application class triggers the reading interface classes to acquire the input data. During this process the input data are manipulated to obtain a complete set of information that will be later used by the other application classes.
Functional model SWOrDcontains a mathematical model of the world used to process observational data. The functional model of the system can be decomposed into several components, which are the counterpart to the physical model to be developed
Kinematic POD (1/2) There exist several kinematic orbit determination techniques based on either undifferenced, doubly-differenced or triply-differenced observables, but also on time-differenced phase observables. All of the kinematic approaches to GPS-based LEO OD, including the one adopted here, make use of the fundamental contribution of data provided by the IGS. These data include GPS SV’s orbits, clock solutions for both SV’s and ground stations, EOP and tropospheric zenith delay (TZD) solutions. All these parameters are held fixed in the solution process.
Kinematic POD (2/2) The strategy adopted in the SWOrD OD system is based on the use of a combination of pseudorange and phase observables differenced in time. The procedure is illustrated on the left
