WHAT IS GALILEO? Galileo will be an independent, global, European-controlled satellite-based navigation system. - It consists of a Space Segment with a total of 30 satellites (27 + 3 in-orbit spares) in Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO) and a Ground Segment providing system and satellite monitoring and control, as well as an Integrity function to broadcast real-time warnings of satellite or system malfunctions.
Galileo will providenavigation services of the following types: • Open Service providing global positioning and timing services, free of charge; • Safety-of-Life Service providing integrity services with a defined time-to-alarm limit; • Commercial Service providing data dissemination services; • Public Regulated Service providing global positioning and timing services.
GALILEO SYSTEM SIMULATION FACILITY What is that???
GSSF is conceived as a simulation environment that reproduces the functional andperformance behaviour of the Galileo system to support the entire Galileo program lifecycle.
TYPE SIMULATIONS (capabilities): • SVS – Service Volume Simulation (users) • RDG – Raw Data Generation (research) • To standard uses – only SVS is available
Service Volume Simulation (low resolution models) • Geometry • Visibility • Coverage • Dilution of Precision • Accuracy • Integrity • Service • Interference
Raw Data Generation (high resolution models) • Ephemeris • Clock • Observables • IMPORTANT TO USE IN OTHER BED TEST
Visibility Analyses • Global or Regional Visibility • Global or Regional Visibility (long Run) • Receiver to Satellite Visibility • Ground Segment to Satellite Extended Visibility
Coverage Analyses • Depth of Coverage • Global or Regional Depth of Coverage • Ground Segment to Satellite Inverse Depth of Coverage • Ground Segment to Satellite Availability of Depth of Coverage • Independent Integrity Path Coverage
Geometry Analysis • Receiver to Satellite Geometry • “ Returns a set of geometry data for every receiver and their visible satellites. The user can filter the results based upon receiver type. “
DOP Analyses • Global or Regional DOP • Global or Regional Availability of DOP • User Receiver DOP • User Receiver Availability of DOP
Navigation Performance Analysis • Global or Regional NSP • Global or Regional Availability of NSP without failures • Global or Regional Availability of NSP with failures • Global or Regional Continuity of NSP a posteriori without failures
Integrity Analysis • Global or Regional Integrity (Protection Levels) • Global or Regional Availability of Integrity without failures • Global or Regional Continuity of Integrity a posteriori without failures • Global or Regional Availability of Integrity with failures
Service Analysis • Global or Regional Availability of Service • Global or Regional Critical Satellites
Modelling Capabilities • Space Segment: provides models of the Galileo, GPS and EGNOS satellites.
Modelling Capabilities • Environment • Contains models of the main sources of perturbation on the satellite signal, which affect the performance of a navigation system.
Modelling Capabilities • User Segment • In order to analyze navigation performance at user level, GSSF models the user receivers and the internal algorithms they use to produce navigation information.
Modelling Capabilities • Ground Segment • Provides models of the Galileo Ground Segment. In V2.0, the Ground Segment functionality is limited to what is required for SVS as defined in RD 1 (Ground Station positions and determination of Controlled Satellites).
Interfacing Capabilities • RINEX • TROPEX • IONEX • IGS SP3 • IGS ERP • TLES YUMA • JGM3 • JPL DE405
Constellation File Formats • IGS SP3, YUMA, RINEX • To set the constellation parameters for the space segment and this is useful to significantly accelerate the prolonged process of entering the constellation details manually.
XML FORMAT: • TO SAVE, IMPORT AND VISUALISE SIMULATION DATASETS
EXPORTING IN ASCII AND CSV FILE FORMAT: • TO THE SIMULATION OUTPUT DATA AND ANALISYS TO BE READ BY MICROSOFT EXCEL
Image Formats: • JPG • JPEG • BMP • DIB
EXPORTING IN RINEX/SP3 FORMAT: • Allows the User to ingest data produce by GSSF into other tools for further analysis. • Unavailable to SVS.
