In IGS website, only GPS precise orbit is available. I want to perform PPP analysis with multi-GNSS combination which requires precise orbit of other constellations along with GPS orbits. How can I get precise orbit for GALILEO, GLONASS, BDS etc?
Certainly! You can download the precise ephemerides for various GNSS systems, including GALILEO, GLONASS, BDS, and others, from the International GNSS Service (IGS) website. Here's how:
Go to the IGS website at www.igs.org.
Click on the "Data" tab at the top menu.
Select "Ephemerides" from the drop-down menu.
Choose the GNSS system you want to download ephemerides for. For example, select "GALILEO" for Galileo, "GLONASS" for GLONASS, "BDS" for BeiDou-2, and so on.
Select the time period for which you want to download the ephemerides. You can choose from pre-defined time intervals, such as "Current Week," "Last Week," "Last Month," or specify a custom time period.
Click on the "Search" button to retrieve the ephemerides data.
Once the data is retrieved, you can download it in various formats, such as CSV, JSON, or SP3.
Alternatively, you can also use the IGS ftp server to download the ephemerides data. Here's how:
Open a command prompt or terminal window.
Navigate to the directory where you want to save the ephemerides data.
Use the following command to download the ephemerides data for a specific GNSS system and time period:
ftp -s:_.csv copy
Replace with the name of the GNSS system you want to download ephemerides for (e.g., "GALILEO", "GLONASS", "BDS", etc.). Replace with the time period for which you want to download the ephemerides (e.g., "CURRENT_WEEK", "LAST_WEEK", "LAST_MONTH", etc.). Replace with the IGS ftp server address, which is `
