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.

In this paper, the performance of the KOMPSAT-1 GPS receiver on orbit was analyzed. OD (Orbit Determination) accuracy using GPS navigation solutions and GPS visibility were investigated with respect to the configuration of the GPS receiver. Indeed, the problem such as ‘3D Fix Loss’ observed during the mission was presented. As a result, the OD accuracy of ‘Best-of-4’ Position Fix Algorithm with 0 degree of mask angle was slightly better than that of ‘N-in-View’ Position Fix Algorithm. On the other hand, the GPS visibility under ‘N-in-View’ Algorithm is better than that of ‘Best-of-4’ Algorithm. The occurrence of temporal 3D Fix Loss is reduced when the ‘N-in-View’ Position Fix Algorithm was selected.

고기동 위성에 탑재된 GPS 수신기의 위성체의 기준 위치, 속도 및 시간의 정보를 제공한다. 특히 저궤도 관측위성은 빠른 동적 특성으로 인하여 GPS 위성 신호 획득 및 추적이 어려울 경우 연속적인 항행해를 제공하기 어려울 수 있다. 이를 위하여 위성 GPS 수신기는 지상용과 달리 넓은 대역폭의 신호 획득 및 추적이 가능한 RF수신단이 탑재되어 있으며 필터 기반의 궤도전파기가 탑재되어 있어 있다. 뿐만 아니라 GPS 수신기기의 상태 데이터 제공 및 고속 데이터 처리를 위하여 고성능 CPU가 탑재되어 있다. 특히 탑재된 궤도전파기는 고성능 필터 기반으로 설계되어 있으며 이를 이용하면 GPS 신호 추적이 되지 않은 상황에서도 비교적 정확하고 연속적인 항행해가 제공하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 저궤도 관측위성에 탑재된 GPS 수신기가 초기 위성운영에서 어떠한 절차에 의하여 동작이 되며 위성의 빠른 동적 특성에서 GPS 수신기의 가시성 및 추적 위성개수 분석 및 이를 바탕으로 위치 및 속도 정밀도가 어느 정도 되는지에 대한 성능 분석 결과를 정리 하였다. 본 논문 결과는 향후 고기동 위성의 GPS 수신기 및 관련 운영에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

This paper considers the performance of the non-participating GPS software receivers under the presence of GPS pseudolite(PL). For the continuous PL signal and pulsed PL signal, the impact of PL signals on the GPS software receivers is investigated according to the signal strength of the PL and the distance between the PL and the GPS receiver.

GPS is one of the main navigation systems. In these days, the application scope of GPS is extended to attitude determination using Differential GPS(DGPS) technique and Cycle Ambiguity resolution technique. In this paper, we propose an attitude determination algorithm using Kalman filter through double differenced measurement equation which is not for users with GPS patch antennas, but for users with low-priced GPS receivers. This paper also shows the simulation results and the effectiveness of proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a real time on-board orbit determination method using the extended kalman filter is suggested and its performance is analyzed in the environment of the orbit. Considering the limited on-board resources, the $J_2$ orbit propagate model and the GPS navigation solution are used for on-board orbit determination. The analysis result of the on-board orbit determination method implemented in DubaiSat-2 showed that position and velocity error are improved from 70.26 m to 26.25 m and from 3.6 m/s to 0.044 m/s, respectively when abnormal excursion errors is removed in the GPS navigation solution.

For safety navigation of ships at sea, ships monitor their location obtained from Global Positioning Satellite System (GNSS). In this study, we computed near-real-time positions of a ship at sea using GPS Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technique and analyzed precision of the near-real-time positions. We conducted ship borne GPS observations in the south sea of Korea. To process the GPS data using PPP technique, GIPSY-OASIS (GPS Inferred Positioning System-Orbit Analysis and Simulation Software) developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory was used. Antenna phase center variations, ocean tidal loading displacements, and azimuthal gradients of the atmosphere were corrected or estimated as standard procedures of high-precision GIPSY-OASIS data processing. As a result, the precisions of near-real-time positions was ~1cm.
