AbstractDue to the continued development of the GLONASS satellites, precise orbit determination (POD) still poses a series of challenges. This study examines the impact of introducing the analytical tube-wing model for GLONASS-M and the box-wing model for GLONASS-K in a series of hybrid POD strategies that consider both the analytical model and a series of empirical parameters. We assess the perturbing accelerations acting on GLONASS spacecraft based on the analytical model. All GLONASS satellites are equipped with laser retroreflectors for satellite laser ranging (SLR). We apply the SLR observations for the GLONASS POD in a series of GNSS + SLR combined solutions. The application of the box-wing model significantly improves GLONASS orbits, especially for GLONASS-K, reducing the STD of SLR residuals from 92.6 to 27.6 mm. Although the metadata for all GLONASS-M satellites reveal similar construction characteristics, we found differences in empirical accelerations and SLR offsets not only between GLONASS-M and GLONASS-M+ but also within the GLONASS-M+ series. Moreover, we identify satellites with inferior orbit solutions and check if we can improve them using the analytical model and SLR observations. For GLONASS-M SVN730, the STD of the SLR residuals for orbits determined using the empirical solution is 48.7 mm. The STD diminishes to 41.2 and 37.8 mm when introducing the tube-wing model and SLR observations, respectively. As a result, both the application of the SLR observations and the analytical model significantly improve the orbit solution as well as reduce systematic errors affecting orbits of GLONASS satellites.

AbstractDue to an increasing requirement for high accuracy orbital information for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, precise orbit determination (POD) of LEO satellites is a topic of growing interest. To assure the safety and reliability of the applications requiring high accuracy LEO orbits in near-real-time, integrity monitoring (IM) is an essential operation of the POD process. In this contribution, the IM strategy for LEO POD in both the kinematic and reduced-dynamic modes is investigated. The overbounding parameters of the signal-in-space range error are investigated for the GPS products provided by the International GNSS Service’s Real-Time Service and the Multi-GNSS Advanced Demonstration of Orbit and Clock Analysis service. Benefiting from the dynamic models used and the improved model strength, the test results based on the data of the LEO satellite GRACE FO-1 show that the average-case mean protection levels (PLs) can be reduced from about 3–4 m in the kinematic mode to about 1 m in the reduced-dynamic mode in the radial, along-track and cross-track directions. The overbounding mean values of the SISRE play the dominant role in the final PLs. In the reduced-dynamic mode and average-case projection, the IM availabilities reach above 99% in the radial, along-track and cross-track directions with the alert limit (AL) set to 2 m. The values are still above 98% with the AL set to 4 m, when the duty cycle of tracking is reduced to 40%, e.g., in the case of power limits for miniature satellites such as CubeSats.
