“…Global Positioning System (GPS) has been used for spacecraft navigation, providing high precision orbit information with minimum ground intervention. Based on the improvement of GPS data quality, the purely kinematic precise orbit determination (KPOD) [1,2] approach has become an attractive alternative method for LEO satellites to dynamic and reduced-dynamic orbit determination methods (DPOD) [3,4]. The KPOD makes use of a precise point positioning (PPP) approach for epoch-wise solution of the satellite's state from GPS observations.…”

This paper describes a GPS receiver clock model that can improve the accuracy of kinematic orbit determination for spacecraft in low earth orbit. The receiver clock error is commonly estimated on an epoch-by-epoch basis, along with the satellite's position. However, due to the high correlation between the spacecraft orbit altitude and the receiver clock parameters, estimates of the radial component are degraded in the kinematic-based approach. Using clocks with high stability, e.g., ultra-stable oscillators, the highly predictable frequency behaviour of the receiver oscillator can be fully exploited to improve the positioning accuracy, especially for the radial component. A simple two-state model is used to describe the deterministic and stochastic property of the receiver clock. In particular, the clock parameters are estimated as time offset and frequency offset. Additionally, residual non-deterministic random errors such as frequency white noise, flicker noise and random-walk noise are modelled. The test results of GRACE flight data indicate that the positioning accuracy could be improved significantly. In particular, the radial component error was reduced by over 60 %.

“…The space-based GNSS atmospheric limb sounding offers a complementary solution to these issues (Yunck et al, 2003). The space-based GNSS RO atmospheric remote sensing technique, which makes use of the L-band radio signals transmitted by the GNSS satellites, has emerged as a powerful approach for sounding the global atmosphere in all weather over both lands and oceans (Yunck et al, 1990(Yunck et al, & 2003Wu et al, 1993;& Liou et al, 2002). Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram illustrating radio occultation of GNSS signals received by a low-earth-orbit satellite.…”
