Version 3 of Australia’s free Ginan service, an open-source toolkit for determining precise point positioning with centimetre-level accuracy based on GNSS observations, has been released.
Version 3 enables users to use Ginan to determine precise orbits for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, knowledge which in turn is used to boost the accuracy of positioning measurements on the ground, in the air and on the water.
“The benefits of the version 3 release will see simplified software configuration, improved positioning performance, the ability to estimate LEO orbital trajectories as well as a range of bug fixes and performance improvements,” said Anna Riddell, Geoscience Australia’s (GA) Director GNSS Analysis.
Riddell hailed the achievement for GA and its collaborators, including Curtin University, the University of Newcastle, RMIT University, FrontierSI and the Industrial Science Group.
