New public station: gap1

June 1st, 2009 by Ricardo PĂ­riz

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.

On the roof, a Leica AT504 antenna tracks the GPS signals and sends them to the receiver.

The gap1 station generates dual-frequency pseudorange and phase measurements (C1, P1, P2, L1, L2). Within magicGNSS, the gap1 data rate is 30 seconds, in hourly RINEX files. The original RINEX files at 1-sec rate can be accessed for the last 10 days.
