Availability Analysis of GNSS Orbit and Clock Files

Abstract

In this study, the satellite availability analysis of the publicly available final, rapid and ultra-rapid orbit (sp3) and clock files were investigated for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou-2, BeiDou-3 and QZSS satellites within a one-year period of 2021. In addition, clock biases that do not exist in orbit files have also been calculated for each system. The results show that average number of GPS and GLONASS satellites are consistent among the products, however, the average GALILEO and BeiDou satellites are significantly changing among the products. The minimum average number of Galileo satellites was calculated for the final, rapid and ultra-rapid orbit products for the CNES (final), GFZ (fast) and GFZ (ultra) analysis centers, respectively. The minimum average number of satellites for BeiDou-3 (MEO) and QZSS was calculated for the CODE analysis center.
