Our email-based PPP service is now part of the The Precise Point Positioning Software Centre (PPPSC). Four online PPP services are now included in the PPPSC. You can download an example of report with the results from the four PPP services currently included in the PPPSC. Here is another example.

No RINEX files at hand? Don’t remember where to download them from, or just too busy to do it? No worries: for IGS stations, you can now do virtual Precise Point Positioning by email (see our previous entry on PPP by email). With virtual PPP there is no need to attach RINEX files to your email, you just have to describe in the message body the station data you are interested in.

Just send an email to [email protected] with the Subject Virtual and type one or two virtual RINEX filenames in the body of the message, with the following syntax:

rinex: ssssyyddd

where ssss is the station name, yy is the two-digit year, and ddd the day of year. For example:

To: [email protected]
Subject: Virtual

rinex: kokb08001
rinex: kokb09170

If you submit two RINEX files and they belong to the same station (as in the previous example), you will also get the comparison of the two PPP results (difference of coordinates).

We just relesased magicGNSS version 1.1 that allows using the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) algorithm via email. Just send an email to [email protected] with the Subject Static and one or two RINEX files attached. More info can be found here.

In the previous entry I explained how to upload and share your own station data in magicGNSS. The first public station in magicGNSS is called gap1, uploaded by myself (rpiriz).

The gap1 station is located in our offices in Tres Cantos, Madrid, Spain. A Septentrio PolaRx2 GPS receiver, connected to a Temex iSource LPFRS Rubidium atomic clock, is permanently running in our lab. The receiver is controlled by a dedicated PC under GNU/Linux.
