This paper presents the carrier phase DGPS method providing a stable navigation solution under the condition of frequent blockage of the GPS signals. The proposed algorithm reject the channels having large errors using a clock bias drift and then calculated the more accurate solution. By investigating the relation between visible satellites` elevation and their clock bias drift, a proper threshold is set. Simulation shows that the presented result is as good as that of commercial system with real data.

In this paper, the performance of the KOMPSAT-1 orbit determination (OD) accuracy at the ground station was analyzed by using the flight data. The Bayesian least squares estimation was used for the orbit determination and the assessment of the orbit accuracy was evaluated based on orbit overlap comparisons. We also compared the result from OD using GPS navigation solutions with NORAD TLE and the result from OD using range data. Furthermore, the effect of observation type and OBT drift on the accuracy was investigated. As a consequence, It is shown that the OD accuracy using only GPS position data is on the order of 5m RMS (Root Mean Square) with 4 hrs arc overlap for the 30hr arc and the GPS velocity data is not proper as a observation for the OD due to its inferior quality. The significant deterioration of the accuracy due to the critical clock bias was not founded by means of the comparison of OD result from other observations.
