Andreoli, Francesca. "Improvement of Jupiter's satellites ephemerides using stellar occultation observations." Master's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2019. http://amslaurea.unibo.it/18030/.
Full textAbstract:
The inner Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter are locked into the so-called “Laplace resonance”, where the orbital periods of Ganymede, Europa and Io maintain a 4:2:1 ratio respectively. Resonant dynamics appear several times across the Solar System and determining whether the Jovian resonance is deepening or loosening would provide a direct insight into the origin and the evolution of the Solar System.
At the moment, our knowledge of the Galilean moons' dynamics is not accurate enough to establish in which direction the system is evolving. Including stellar occultation observations obtained from an orbiting spacecraft could result in a critical improvement of these estimations.
Since the spacecraft’s orbit and the stars’ position are generally very well known, every time one of the moons crosses the line-of-sight from the spacecraft to the star its position can be constrained very accurately.
The results of this thesis lay the foundations for the introduction of stellar occultation observations in the orbit determination process of planetary satellites and other celestial bodies. First, a geometrical/mathematical model of the distance between the moon’s limbs and a given star detected in its surroundings was developed and tested. Afterwards, a code to detect and archive all the stellar occultation events in a given time span was implemented. Finally, a parametric covariance analysis was performed to obtain a preliminary assessment of the improvements provided by the introduction of stellar occultation observations and investigate the influence of each variable on the orbit determination problem.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this dissertation thesis is the estimation of the Saturnian satellites ephemerides using optical data of Cassini. In the first part we describe the software employed for the reduction of the images showing its main features and the accuracy that can be achieved comparing the results with published astrometry.
Afterwards we describe the orbit determination problem (ODP) with particular focus on the weights selection for the estimation process. The third chapter describes the dynamical model used and the sources of potential errors in the residuals. The model have been validated trying to replicate JPL's published ephemerides SAT365, SAT375, SAT389 and SAT409. The final part investigates the residuals and the estimated ephemerides with particular focus on the giant moon Titan, the only in the solar system with an atmosphere other than the Earth. No astrometry have been retrieved in literature of Titan using optical observables, thus this represents one of the first investigations of the giant.

The satellite systems of Saturn and Jupiter are complex dynamical systems, with several interactions happening between the central body, its rings and the natural satellites.
During the last two decades, unmanned probes allowed to study the gas giant satellite systems. The three most relevant spacecrafts to their study have been Galileo, Cassini and Juno.
Galileo studied the Jupiter system, the primary body and the main moons during 8 years, despite the failure on the deployment of its high gain antenna that limited the science retrieval. Cassini, analogously, studied during most of the 13 years of its mission, the natural satellites, paying specific attention to Titan.
Then, in 2017 both Cassini and Juno spacecrafts were used to carry out gravity measurements of Saturn and Jupiter. Both spacecraft were inserted into similar, almost polar, highly eccentric orbits with low pericenter altitudes. Tracking the motion of the probes during pericenter passes from the DSN enabled the retrieval of the gravity field of both gas giants at an unprecedented level of accuracy. These results provide constraints on the interiors of the gas giants, but also, on the satellite system ephemerides which, analogously, hold information on the properties and evolution of both the satellites themselves and the central body.
The main aim of this project is to study and characterize the key dynamics that rule the gas giant satellite systems using an improved gravity field of the central body, estimated using radio tracking data of deep space probes. To accomplish our objective, we performed the data analysis of the previously mentioned deep space missions: Cassini, Juno and Galileo. Being the three probes the very first orbiters of gas giant planets, they provided, and still provide, precious information which contributes to unveil the gas giant satellite systems dynamics, their origin and evolution.

Les éphémérides planétaires jouent un rôle important pour la navigation des missions spatiales actuelles et la mise en place des missions futures ainsi que la réduction et l'analyse des observations astronomiques les plus précises.

The construction of suchephemerides is highly constrained by the tracking observations, in particular range, of the spaceprobes collected by the tracking stations on the Earth. The present planetary ephemerides (DE,INPOP, EPM) are mainly based on such observations. However, the data used by the planetaryephemerides are not the direct raw tracking data, but measurements deduced after the analysisof raw data made by the space agencies and the access to such processed measurements remainsdifficult in terms of availability.The goal of the thesis is to use archives of past and present space missions data independentlyfrom the space agencies, and to provide data analysis tools for the improvement of theplanetary ephemerides INPOP, as well as to use improved ephemerides to perform tests ofphysics such as general relativity, solar corona studies, etc.The first part of the study deals with the analysis of the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS)tracking data as an academic case for understanding. The CNES orbit determination softwareGINS was used for such analysis. The tracking observations containing one-, two-, and threewayDoppler and two-way range are then used to reconstruct MGS orbit precisely and obtainedresults are consistent with those published in the literature. As a supplementary exploitationof MGS, we derived the solar corona model and estimated the average electron density alongthe line of sight separately for slow and fast wind regions. Estimated electron densities arecomparable with the one found in the literature. Fitting the planetary ephemerides, includingadditional data which were corrected for the solar corona perturbations, noticeably improves theextrapolation capability of the planetary ephemerides and the estimation of the asteroid masses(Verma et al., 2013a).The second part of the thesis deals with the complete analysis of the MESSENGER trackingdata. This analysis improved the Mercury ephemeris up to two order of magnitude comparedto any latest ephemerides. Such high precision ephemeris, INPOP13a, is then used to performgeneral relativity tests of PPN-formalism.[...]

Full textAbstract:
Jupiter and its moons are a complex dynamical system that include several phenomenon like tides interactions, moon's librations and resonances. One of the most interesting characteristics of the Jovian system is the presence of the Laplace resonance, where the orbital periods of Ganymede, Europa and Io maintain a 4:2:1 ratio respectively. It is interesting to study the role of the Laplace Resonance in the dynamic of the system, especially regarding the dissipative nature of the tidal interaction between Jupiter and its closest moon, Io.
Numerous theories have been proposed regarding the orbital evolution of the Galilean satellites, but they disagree about the amount of dissipation of the system, therefore about the magnitude and the direction of the evolution of the system, mainly because of the lack of experimental data. The future JUICE space mission is a great opportunity to solve this dispute. JUICE is an ESA (European Space Agency) L-class mission (the largest category of missions in the ESA Cosmic Vision) that, at the beginning of 2030, will be inserted in the Jovian system and that will perform several flybys of the Galilean satellites, with the exception of Io. Subsequently, during the last part of the mission, it will orbit around Ganymede for nine months, with a possible extension of the mission. The data that JUICE will collect during the mission will have an exceptional accuracy, allowing to investigate several aspects of the dynamics the system, especially, the evolution of Laplace Resonance of the Galilean moons and its stability. This thesis will focus on the JUICE mission, in particular in the gravity estimation and orbit reconstruction of the Galilean satellites during the Jovian orbital phase using radiometric data.
This is accomplished through an orbit determination technique called multi-arc approach, using the JPL's orbit determination software MONTE (Mission-analysis, Operations and Navigation Tool-kit Environment).

“Comemorar efemérides” não é apenas uma expressão legítima utilizada para fazer referência à celebração de uma festa nacional. Desde o final do século XIX, ao menos em língua portuguesa, os dois termos têm sido associados como sinônimos. A presente tese representa um esforço em compreender o desenvolvimento de dois conceitos – comemorações e efemérides – na longa duração. Os encontros e desvios entre as práticas associadas a um e a outro serão pontuados através da seleção de episódios intelectuais, seguidos pelo exame de debates que os tocavam na periferia de suas articulações. Na primeira parte, dedicada às comemorações, montei uma revisão desse bem conhecido tópico de estudos endereçada a uma única hipótese, a saber: o “ofício” comemorativo pode ser entendido como uma forma de comunicação e transmissão geracional de valores. Inspirado pelas fontes, argumento que os eventuais pontos de encontro entre o par de objetos propostos nesta tese são análogos às interrelações entre a “ordem do tempo” e a “ordem da natureza”, entre o tempo dos homens e o movimento das estrelas. Neste drama conceitual, se pudermos assim chamá-lo, faríamos perceber como a superação dos antigos modelos cosmológicos não se esquivou em guardar, para assumir termo caro a Pomian, uma lógica cronosófica. Se eu for bem sucedido, esse argumento deverá se expressar na segunda parte. As efemérides, como tábuas do movimento dos corpos celestes, vieram sofrer uma lenta transição rumo ao registro dos feitos humanos. Bebendo em fontes antigas e nas práticas de emulação, personagens bem conhecidos da primeira modernidade associaram o termo primeiro aos diários pessoais, depois ao jornalismo e, nos séculos seguintes, à história literária, religiosa e política. Na França, as éphémérides emergem da revolução já como um subgênero historiográfico. No Brasil da segunda metade do século XIX, listas de efemérides encontram lugar comum junto às comemorações dentro dos debates do IHGB. É no horizonte do projeto de nação que busco observar a união dos paralelos. Esse horizonte – como um ponto de chegada – vai aparecer ao final de cada secção da tese, observado a partir da celebração do quadricentenário da descoberta de Cabral.“Comemorar efemérides” is a Portuguese phrase that despite its academic ring, is often used in the mainstream press. It translates roughly as 'the commemoration of an auspicious occasion’ and is used in reference to the public marking of nationally significant events. By the end of the nineteenth century, the two terms of this phrase came to be synonymous in Portuguese. This thesis represents an effort to understand the development of these two terms – efemérides and comemorações – over the longue durée. The long-term similarities in the practical and public uses of these terms are explored by tracing their discursive deployments and examining the debates that surrounded such public uses. The first section, dedicated to commemorations, frames the analysis of this much discussed topic with the following hypothesis: the act of commemoration is a form of moral utterance between generations; it is the rehearsal and transmission of collective values. Drawing on historical sources, I argue that the eventual points of contact between these terms can be seen as analogs to the discursive exchange and conflict between the classical and peripatetic notions of the “order of time” and the “order of nature”. In this conceptual drama, one sees how the sublation of old cosmological perspectives nevertheless still contains what I shall call – following Pomian – a chronosophy. This analysis leads to the second part of the thesis. Efemérides, originally tables of the movements of the celestial bodies – also known as almanacs – underwent a slow transition from the celestial to the earthly, from the charting of the stars to the recording of human deeds. Drawing on classical texts, well-informed readers of early modernity would have associated those writings in the first instance with diaries, then with journalism and, in the following centuries, with political history. Emerging from the French Revolution as a historiographical subgenre, lists of Efemérides shared a common function with commemorations as nation-building practices that described the horizon of a project to create national identity. This horizon, as a meeting point of moral utterance and political project is explored at the end of both sections of the thesis, as it is observed in the quadricentenial celebration of Cabral’s Discovery of Brazil. It is at this horizon that the parallel developments of comemorações and efemérides promise to meet.

The warfighter constantly needs increased accuracy from GPS and a means to increasing this accuracy to the decimeter level is a broadcast ephemeris message containing GPS satellite orbit and clock corrections. The ephemeris message is produced at the GPS MCS (Master Control Station) which receives GPS signal data from NGA and Air Force worldwide and uses sophisticated software to produce the orbit and clock corrections. The problem is getting the ephemeris message to the tactical user in a forward operating area. This thesis proposed a notional architecture for pushing the ephemeris message to the tactical user. It then modeled the architecture and simulated the broadcast of the ephemeris message to a tactical user using NETWARS. The baseline architecture was simulated and analyzed and then additional constraints were placed upon the network to simulate a real-world model. The simulation results demonstrated that the architecture was feasible for ephemeris message broadcast with the constraints on time intervals between broadcasts, residual traffic and message size.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes the system design and implementation of the secure Ephemerizer System that was first introduced by Radia Perlman in 2005. The system is designed to enable users to keep data for a finite period of time before making the data unrecoverable by destroying the keys with which the data was encrypted. The task of the Ephemerizer System service is to create, advertise, and destroy keys required for the Ephemerizer System's functionalities.
We designed the Ephemerizer System Service's security by placing the sensitive key management modules into a Trusted Computing Base (TCB). Our compartmentalized approach distributes security requirements at different sensitivity levels into different protection domains. In our approach, we implement the trusted protection domain (our TCB) on a tamper-resistant Javacard.
We placed the key storage database into the partly trusted protection domain to improve scalability and availability of the Ephemerizer System. The partly trusted protection domain requires memory isolation and other security mechanisms provided by the underlying operating system. We implemented several mechanisms on the TCB, such as the signature engine, cryptographic modules, the on-card expiration validator, and on-card time verification. We make the Ephemerizer System available to users as a web service and expose it though a uniform API. This approach enables the seamless integration of the Ephemerizer System into business processes on heterogeneous platforms.

GPS receivers in challenging signal reception areas can find it difficult to maintain continuous signal lock for the up-to 30 seconds needed to obtain the broadcast ephemeris from the satellites. It can take many minutes for receivers to obtain the ephemeris parameters from enough satellites to obtain a position fix. As well as users expecting a rapid time-to-first-fix (TTFF) when performing a warm start, the advent of the E-911 legislature in the USA also provides motivation for rapid TTFF with accurate positions. In this thesis, a scalable orbit prediction algorithm is developed to calculate an extended ephemeris of GPS satellites of up to 7 days on a mobile device to within an accuracy of 20 m rms (radial). The algorithm numerically integrates force models from a set of initial conditions, position and velocity, determined solely from the broadcast ephemeris. Forces used include Earth gravity models of varying resolution, third-body gravity effects, solar radiation pressure, relativity, and solid Earth tides. Adding these forces improves the ephemeris accuracy at the cost of the execution time, so research is undertaken to produce ephemeris data quickly whilst maintaining similar accuracy. An orbit determination algorithm is developed that uses a least-squares technique to optimise the computed orbit over multiple sets of previously observed broadcast ephemeris data. This modifies the estimate of the initial conditions made available to the orbit predictor, which then provides a modified ephemeris which has a substantially lower root-mean-square error. The algorithm again uses a suite of force models, and only broadcast ephemeris orbit data was utilised, no other satellite ephemeris is required. Studies determining the effect of modifying the a priori weights and the number of sets of ephemeris data used for observations are undertaken and results demonstrated on a HTC TyTN II mobile device. The orbit determination technique presented in this thesis is novel, in that it utilises only broadcast ephemeris parameters previously acquired by a single GPS receiver to modify the initial position and velocity for the orbit prediction algorithm. Previous techniques used either empirical modelling or least squares techniques to modify empirical parameters of the orbit prediction algorithm.

Resumo: Neste trabalho, estudamos e traduzimos integralmente uma obra da literatura latina tardia conhecida como Ephemeris belli Troiani Dictys Cretensis (Diário da Guerra de Troia ), anônima e datável do século IV d. C. Ephemeris relata os eventos da Guerra de Troia do ponto de vista de um narrador em primeira pessoa que se apresenta como um soldado cretense de nome Díctis, alistado na tropa do comandante grego Idomeneu. A narração do prélio entre gregos e troianos, conhecida em literatura primordialmente pela leitura da Ilíada, de Homero, reveste se em Ephemeris de uma intenção racionalista ao diminuir os heróis à condição humana regular, ao diminuir a atuação dos deuses e ao estruturar a narrativa de forma lógica e cronológica.

Abstract: In this work, we study and translate integrally a late Latin work known as Ephemeris belli Troiani (Diary of the War of Troy ), anonymous and dating from the fourth century AD. Ephemeris reports the events of the Trojan War from the viewpoint of a first person narrator who presents himself as a Cretan soldier named Díctis, enlisted in the troop of the Greek com mander Idomeneu. The account of the battle between Greeks and Trojans, known in literature primarily by the reading of the Homer's Iliad, is dressed in Ephemeris of a rationalistic intention by diminishing the heroes to the regular human condition, by decr easing the performance of the gods and structuring the narrative logically and chronologically. Composed of six chapters, preceded by an epistle and a prologue, the work is a Latin version of a text of second century, written originally in Greek, which is now fragmented. Ephemeris gains importance with regard to the conservation of the Trojan myth. In the Latin West, since the first century BC, the story of Trojan War was less known through Homeric poems and Greek literature in general because of a precario usness in diffusion of the Greek language among the Roman elite. Add to this factor the later and growing pressure of the Church that rejected the polytheistic gods who inhabited the Homeric narrative. In this way other works composed in Latin assumed the transmission of the Trojan story that offered the Homeric epic. Of particular note is Ephemeris, which ...

La narrazion e del combattimento tra Greci e Troiani, nota in letteratura soprattutto per la lettura dela Iliade di Omero, si presenta in Ephemeris con un'intenzione razionalista poiché diminuire gli eroi alla condizione umana normale, ridurre il ruolo dele divinità e strutturare la narrazione in modo logico e cronologico.

Full textAbstract:
Le thème central de la thèse concerne l’utilisation des données de radio tracking pour le développement d’éphémérides planétaires, en particulier, dans deux cas : 1) analyse de données de navigation de la mission Cassini pour améliorer les éphémérides de Saturne et augmenter notre connaissance du système solaire externe ; 2) simulation des données radio de la mission ESA BepiColombo collectées durant la phase orbital à Mercure, pour évaluer leur contribution sur le développement des éphémérides planétaire de l’Intégrateur Numérique Planétaire de l’Observatoire de Paris (INPOP).Le premier sujet de recherche essaie de traiter les données de navigation de la sonde Cassini autour de Saturne en utilisant la connaissance mise à jour du système Saturnien : éphémérides précises pour les lunes du système et caractérisation de la gravité de Titan et des autres lunes principales.Ça permis la création des points normaux plus précis, capable de contraindre l’orbite de Saturne pour 13 ans (la moitié de sa révolution autour du Soleil) au niveau des mètres et de donner précieux informations sur le système solaire externe, en particulier sur la masse de la Kuiper belt et sur la possible position de P9. Les nouvelles données montrent une réduction de l’incertitude d’un facteur 5 en respect aux analyses précédentes.La deuxième partie de la thèse se concentre sur la production des simulations réalistes des données radio que le Mercury Orbiter Radio-science Experiment (MORE) de la sonde BepiColombo mesurera durant la phase scientifique de sa mission autour de Mercure.Des points normaux sont après produits avec une incertitude déduite de la matrice de covariance de l’état de la sonde estimé en utilisant ces données simulées.Ces points sont donc traités par le weighted-least square estimateur d’INPOP pour quantifier l’impact que les données de BepiColombo auront sur le développement des éphémérides planétaires, en particulier pour contraindre l’orbite de Mercure et des paramètres relativistesThe central theme of the thesis concerns the exploitation of radio tracking measurements for the development of planetary ephemerides, in particular, applied on two research topics: 1) the analysis of navigation data of Cassini mission to enhance the ephemeris of Saturn and increase our knowledge of the outer solar system; 2) the simulation of BepiColombo measurements collected during the orbital phase at Mercury, for assessing their contribution on the Intégrateur Numérique Planétaire de l’Observatoire de Paris (INPOP) planetary ephemerides.The first research aims at reprocessing Cassini radio tracking data by exploiting the current knowledge of the Saturnian system developed throughout the mission, i.e. the availability of accurate satellite ephemerides and precise gravity solutions for Saturn, Titan and the other major moons. This allows the production of more precise normal points, which are able to constrain the orbit of the planet at meters-level for 13 years (almost half of its revolution) and to provide invaluable insights on the mass of the Kuiper belt. The results show a reduction of a factor 5 on normal points uncertainties with respect to previous analyses, providing tighter constraints on the acceptance regions of planet 9.The second research topic focuses on the production of realistic normal points derived from the end-to-end simulation of BepiColombo Mercury Orbiter Radio-science Experiment (MORE). The uncertainties of the normal points are deduced from the mapped covariance of the spacecraft state. The derived measurements are then processed with the INPOP weighted-least squares filter to quantify the achievable constraints on ephemerides and relativistic parameters

This thesis presents the results and activities related to the design, analysis, construction, test, and integration of a flight-qualified satellite, the Space-based Telescopes for the Actionable Refinement of Ephemeris (STARE) satellite. This project has been a collaboration, led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and including the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and Texas AandM University. Of particular importance are the processes, experiences, and results of testing the payload and integrated STARE satellite. In addition, an analysis of testing requirements specifically appropriate for CubeSats, has been performed based on experience with larger satellites, and, finally, a thermal model has been developed for on-orbit thermal performance evaluation. The STARE satellite is currently scheduled to be a secondary payload mounted in the NPS CubeSat Launcher (NPSCuL), attached to the Atlas V Aft Bulkhead Carrier (ABC) on the Centaur upper stage. The goal of the STARE project is to improve Space Situational Awareness and, once the concept is validated, to develop a constellation that would be able to deliver highly refined optical data to improve current conjunction analysis.

Orientador: João Francisco Galera MonicoResumo: A modernização do GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) com a inclusão de novas constelações e melhorias nos sistemas já disponíveis foi avaliada com grande interesse na última década. A combinação de diferentes constelações de satélite expande as aplicações possíveis; portanto, o termo multi-GNSS apareceu para designar o uso desses múltiplos sistemas. O IGS (International GNSS Service), observando a necessidade dos usuários que começaram a usar o multi-GNSS, lançou em 2011 a proposta de projeto experimental IGMA (International GNSS Monitoring Assessment). O projeto visa criar um sistema internacional de análise GNSS com resultados que apresentem confiabilidade para usuários em todo o mundo. Na chamada para a participação como centro de análise a FCT-Unesp foi aceita como parte do projeto para avaliar dois dos quatro parâmetros propostos: Diluição da Precisão da Posição (PDOP) e a acurácia das efemérides transmitidas. Dos sistemas disponíveis, quatro foram escolhidos: GPS, Galileo. GLONASS e BeiDou nessa pesquisa. Foi realizado um estudo sobre o estado da arte para as aplicações de PDOP e WPDOP (Diluição da precisão ponderada na posição). Nas análises de acurácia, foi utilizado a correção entre o centro de fase e o centro de massa do satélite para comparar corretamente as efemérides finais e as transmitidas durante 600 dias (os 120 primeiros dias de cada ano entre 2015 e 2019). O GPS apresentou um RMSE 3D de 1,94 m, Galileo 1,19 m, GLONASS 7,21 m e BeiDou 3,19 m. As análi... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: The modernization of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) with the inclusion of new constellations and improvements in the already available systems has been assessed with great interest over the last decade. The combination of different satellite constellations expands the possible applications, so the term multi-GNSS appeared to designate the use of these multiple navigation systems. The IGS (International GNSS Service), observing the need of the users who started using multi-GNSS, launched in 2011 the proposal for the IGMA (International GNSS Monitoring Assessment) trial Project. It aims to create an international GNSS analysis system with results that present reliability for users around the world. In the call for participation as a center of analysis, FCT-Unesp was accepted as part of the trial project to evaluate the following parameters: Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) and the accuracy of the broadcast ephemeris. Of the available systems, four were chosen: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS e BeiDou. A state-of-the-art study of PDOP and WPDOP (Weighted Position Dilution of Precision) applications was performed. On the accuracy analysis, it was used the phase center vector to correctly compare the final and broadcast ephemeris for 600 days (the first 120 days for each year between 2015 and 2019). The results show that GPS had an overall RMSE of 1.94 m, Galileo 1.94 m, GLONASS 7.21 m and BeiDou 3.19 m. The PDOP and WPDOP analyzes were carried out to evaluate the correlatio...

Full textAbstract:
Les éphémérides issues d'intégrations numériques qui peuvent être facilement téléchargées des sites de l'IMCCE ou du JPL, ont une très bonne précision pour les observations récentes. En même temps, un autre type d'éphémérides, celles analytiques comme TASS, décrivent en détail le système dynamique par une représentation en combinaison de fréquences propres. Notre but est d'associer ces deux types d'éphémérides pour l'utiliser dans les études de la rotation des satellites naturelles. Cela signifie qu'il faut reconstruire des éphémérides à long terme et de haute précision montrant les caractéristiques du système comme les fréquences propres à partir des intégrations numériques. La principale difficulté est d'éviter l'intervalle de temps limité des éphémérides numériques. Dans notre travail, nous partons de la représentation des éléments d'orbite de Titan sur 10 000 ans issues de TASS comme exemple et comme standard. Nous expérimentons comment obtenir les fréquences propres sur 1000 ans d'éphémérides de TASS, et comment obtenir la représentation analytique de la longitude moyenne de Titan sur cet intervalle limité. A cause de cette durée de 1000 ans, au lieu de l'analyse en fréquence, nous utilisons la méthode des moindres carrées, en particulier pour les termes à longue période. L'efficacité et l’exactitude de l'ensemble de la méthode sont vérifiées en comparant les représentations de la longitude moyenne de Titan issue de TASS par la méthode des moindres carrées et par la représentation standard de TASS sur 10 000 ans. Finalement et c'est ce qui importe, nous obtenons une représentation du mouvement de Titan pour les 1000 ans d'éphémérides du JPL. Il existe une différence de 60 km dans l'amplitude du terme principal entre les représentations du JPL et de TASS. Cette différence est considérée comme issue du système. L'intervalle de temps limité des éphémérides influence les fréquences propres et induit des erreurs dans les termes à longues périodes comme contenant la longitude du nœud de Titan. Pour toutes les autres composantes ou presque, leurs amplitudes et phases sont similaires à celles de TASS. L'erreur de représentation est inférieure à 100 km sur 1000 ans et la déviation standard est de 26 km environThe numerical integration ephemeris, which are convenient to download from online service of IMCCE, or Horizons of JPL have very good precision based on recent observations. Meanwhile, another kind, the analytical ephemeris like TASS, describes in detail the dynamical system by combination representation of proper frequencies. We plan to make a connection between those two different type ephemeris, that it ’s benefited us to study the rotation of natural satellites with its high precision ephemeris, those instantaneous positions, velocity, and those system characteristics like proper frequencies. The main difficulty is to avoid the shortcoming of the limited interval of observation ephemeris.In our work, we take the combination representation of Titan with 10,000 years TASS ephemeris as an example and standard. Then, we experiment to obtain both the analytical representation of the mean longitude of Titan and the proper frequencies involved in it with 1,000 years TASS ephemeris by analysis frequency. Due to limited timespan, we extend the method with a least square method, especially for the long period terms. We verify the effectiveness and exactness of the whole method in rebuilt the combination representation.Finally and most important, we get the combination representation of Titan with 1000 years JPL ephemeris. Between the solution of JPL and the representation of TASS, there exists a 60 km difference in the amplitude of the major component, that is considered as a system difference. The limited interval ephemeris makes the influence of the proper frequency, which brings the error into the long period term like the one from the node of Titan. For nearly all other components, those amplitudes and phases are similar with the relative terms of TASS. The error of our representation is less than 100 kilometres over 1,000 years and the standard deviation is about 26 kilometres

En el siglo IV d.C. la Ephemeris belli Troiani de Lucio Septimio se presentaba, en su epistula y prologus introductorios, como una traducción latina de un original griego escrito por Dictis Cretense, que relató a modo de diario los sucesos de la guerra de Troya. Por otra parte, existían testimonios de eruditos bizantinos que hacían referencia también a este Dictis como autor de la Ephemeris belli Troiani. Sin embargo, no se tenía testimonio alguno de dicha obra griega, por lo que su existencia planteaba ciertas dudas. No fue hasta 1907 cuando, tras la publicación de un fragmento de papiro de la obra griega, se pudo constatar la existencia de dicho original griego, que vino a confirmarse más aún, si cabe, con otros tres fragmentos de papiro publicados con posterioridad. A partir de los fragmentos de papiro conservados (POxy. 4943, PTebt. 268, POxy. 2539, y POxy. 4944) podemos afirmar, en primer lugar, que la traducción latina de Lucio Septimio es libre o parafrástica, al menos en los cinco primeros libros de la obra griega, pues los restantes libros del original fueron resumidos en uno, según él mismo relata. En segundo lugar, la datación del fragmento más antiguo conservado se encuentra en torno al siglo II d.C. Por tanto, la composición del original griego estaría en torno a finales del siglo I o principios del siglo II y la gran popularidad que alcanzó dicha obra confirma su tradición abierta. La Ephemeris Belli Troiani se encuentra inmersa en el ambiente caracterizado por la Segunda Sofística, como se puede constatar en la información ofrecida por el prologus, el tratamiento de los discursos presentados en las embajadas por los caudillos griegos, etc. La novela, junto con la obra de Dares Frigio, comparten algunas características y recursos con otras novelas de temáticas variadas, como la utilización de la figura del testigo ocular, el recurso del manuscrito reencontrado, el hallazgo de la obra en una tumba, etc. que confieren mayor veracidad al relato y lo convierten en un relato “pseudohistórico”. La presentación de los sucesos de la guerra como hechos verídicos convierte la obra de Dictis en fuente literaria de la guerra de Troya, como alternativa veraz al relato homérico, para algunos eruditos bizantinos, como Malalas, cronista del siglo VI d.C. De esta manera encontramos en los bizantinos Malalas y Cedreno y en la obra anónima bizantina Eklogé episodios de los sucesos de la guerra de Troya que muestran un conocimiento de primera mano del relato de la Ephemeris Belli Troiani de Dictis. La Ephemeris Belli Troiani de Dictis Cretense y De excidio Troiae historia de Dares Frigio tuvieron trascendencia en la literatura posterior, es más, el relato que ambas obras presentaban sobre la guerra de Troya ha sobrevivido, aunque con adaptaciones, hasta nuestros días.

Full textAbstract:
The diversity, classification and historical biogeography of the mayfly family Prosopistomatidae are explored. First, the higher classification of the Ephemeroptera is reviewed, focussing on the phylogenetic placement of the Prosopistomatidae relative to other mayfly families. All relevant literature from 1762 to 2010 is synthesized. Baetiscidae are established as the probable sister lineage of Prosopistomatidae, the two constituting the superfamily Baetiscoidea. Next, qualitative morphological variation within the Prosopistomatidae is reviewed and revised, emphasizing nymphs because imaginal specimens are few. The labium and associated structures and the hypopharynx of nymphs, and the highly-derived wing venation of the imaginal stages, are re-interpreted. The structure of the male tarsal claws changes considerably between subimago and imago, which, together with deeply scalloped ridges on male imaginal forelegs and unusual pits on the female thorax, are interpreted as providing an unusual mating mechanism. These structures provide morphological characters for species definition and phylogenetic analyses. Two approaches to species delimitation are explored. First, morphometric variation is analysed using Principal Component Analysis, revealing groupings that can be interpreted as species, although there is some overlap between them. Discriminant Function Analysis shows that head width and carapace shape have the most value in identifying nymphs of different species. The carapace of Prosopistoma nymphs is shown to grow allometrically and gradually, in contrast with that of Baetisca, indicating a difference in early ontogeny. Second, an Artificial Neural Network algorithm applied to nymphal morphological characters accurately identified species. This computer-driven artificial intelligence method has power to provide future easy-to-use electronic identification aids. Phylogenetic analysis of nymphal morphology using the parsimony method shows two clades of Prosopistomatidae, one sharing characters with the type species, Prosopistoma variegatum and the other predominating in Africa, although also occurring in Asia; these clades are named the “P. variegatum” and “African” clades, respectively. Parsimony analysis of adult morphology supports these two clades, but supertree analysis obscures the relationships, nesting the “P. variegatum” lineage within the other clade. Preliminary molecular phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA, (mitochondrial) 18S rRNA and Histone-3 genes using Bayesian Inference methods does not support the two clades shown by morphology. Instead, there is a strong relationship between the European species and one African species, with the single Asian representative being most distantly related. These results are limited by lack of fresh material, patchy taxon sampling, and problems with finding suitable primers. A molecular clock program, BEAST, calibrated using fossils, suggests divergence times for the oldest crown-group Prosopistoma clade, represented by the Asian P. wouterae, of about 131 Ma, with the youngest species, the African P. crassi, of 1.21 Ma. Stem-group relationships are analysed using parsimony analysis, focussing on wing characters of the Baetiscoidea, other extant mayfly lineages, and extinct stem-group lineages. This suggests that the Baetiscoidea diverged from main-line Ephemeroptera earlier than any other extant mayfly lineage. This approach expands upon ideas hinted at by earlier scientists. Finally, historical biogeographical analysis of the distribution of known Baetiscoidea s.s. stem-group fossils implies a once Pangean distribution of the lineage. Changing palaeo-climate, catastrophic extinction events and plate tectonic movements in relation to the distribution of crown-group species are reviewed. Other approaches to historical biogeography that build on both morphological and molecular phylogenies are used to interpret disperalist and vacarianist arguments. Distribution patterns of eight unrelated freshwater organisms which share a similar distribution pattern are compared, assuming that shared patterns indicate similar historic biogeographic processes. The distribution of recent Prosopistoma species is seen to be the product of evolution resulting from both vicariance and dispersal. In conclusion, this thesis encompasses a variety of disciplines. It successfully recognises new characters and distinguishes previously unknown species. It uses new approaches to delimiting species and known methods to determine phylogeny from several angles. The analysis of stem-group relationships offers an insight into possible early lineage splitting within Ephemeroptera. Interpretation of historical biogeography allows for both a Gondwanan origin of Prosopistomatidae, with rafting of species on the Deccan plate to Asia, and for subsequent dispersal from Asia down to Australia and across to Europe, and possibly back to Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Dans cette thèse, la recherche se concentre sur le re-calibrage des observations historiques de Phoebe, le 9ème satellite de Saturne, et l'amélioration de son orbite sur la base des données re-calibrés. La précision de calcul de l'orbite dépend de la qualité du modèle théorique (erreur interne) et de la précision des observations utilisées pour ajuster le modèle (erreur externe). Phoebe est loin de sa planète et des satellites majeurs. Le modèle théorique n'est pas très compliqué et l'erreur interne est bien connu et généralement bonne. Toutefois, l'erreur externe est en général inconnue et est la principale cause de l'erreur globale. Comme la luminosité de Phoebe est faible (Vmag = 16,5), il n'y a pas beaucoup d'observations faites dans le temps passé. La précision de son orbite n'est pas aussi bonne que celles des autres grands satellites de Saturne. Un modèle plus adéquat du mouvement du satellite devrait être construit non seulement sur la base des observations de haute-précision, mais aussi sur des données couvrant une période aussi longue que possible. Les observations de Phoebe sur plus de cent ans ont été calibré avec différents catalogues. Il y a quelques incohérences dans les données d'observation obtenues à partir de différents auteurs à différentes époques. De nombreuses observations ont été publiées dans différents formats; elles ne peuvent pas être utilisées directement pour ajuster le modèle dynamique; elles doivent être converties dans un format de données unifié et être corrigées pour des erreurs systématiques, avec les dernières constantes astronomiques dans le système de référence. Les premières observations de Phoebe ont une mauvaise précision et ne collent pas bien aux modèles. A cette époque, les catalogues utilisés ne contenaient pas assez d'étoiles avec une précision suffisante, donc il n'y avait pas beaucoup de étoiles du catalogue sur la plaque. En raison de la précision insatisfaisante des catalogues à l'époque, les positions des étoiles de référence ne sont pas très précises. Cela influe sur la position de Phoebe. Dans le présent travail, nous introduisons une méthode permettant, même si nous ne disposons pas des vraies plaques, de réduire les positions des satellites naturels avec des catalogues astrométriques modernes, tels que UCAC ou GAIA dans le futur. Après la re-calibration des données d'observation historiques, la réduction des observations a été effectuée et la nouvelle éphéméride de Phoebe on a été dérivée. La représentation synthétique au mouvement orbital de Phoebe à partir des éphémérides a été réaliséeIn this thesis, the research focuses on the recalibration of historical observations of Phoebe, the 9th satellite of Saturn, and its orbit improvement based on the re-calibrated data. The accuracy of orbit predictions depends on the theoretical model's quality (internal error) and on the quantity and accuracy of the observations used to fit the model (external error). Phoebe is far away from its planet and other major satellites, so that the theoretical model is not very complicated and the internal error is well known and generally good. However, the external error is generally unknown and is the main cause of the global error. Since the brightness of Phoebe is faint (Vmag=16.5), not so many observations have been made in the past time. The accuracy of its ephemeris is not as good as those of other major satellites of Saturn. A most adequate model of satellite motion should be built not only based on high-accurate recent observations but also on data over a period of time as long as possible. The observations of Phoebe over one hundred years have been calibrated with different catalogs. There are some inconsistencies in observational data obtained from different authors at different epochs. Many observations have been published in different formats; they cannot be used directly to fit the dynamical model, should be re-input into unified data format, and be corrected for systematic differences, with the latest astronomical constants and reference frame. The earliest observations of Phoebe have bad accuracy and not fit the models very well. At that time, the catalogues they used did not contain enough stars with a precise accuracy, so there were not many catalogue stars on the plate. Because of the unsatisfactory precision of the old catalogues at the epoch, the positions of the reference stars were not very precise. This brings today inaccuracy on the position of Phoebe. In the present work, we introduce a method, even if we do not have real plates, to reduce the positions of the natural satellites with modern astrometric catalogues, such as UCAC or GAIA in the future. After the re-calibration of historical observation data, reduction of observations has been completed and the new ephemeris Phoebe was derived. Then the synthetic representation of Phoebe's orbital motion from the ephemeris was provided

Full textAbstract:
To be able to receive a position from a smartphone user is very valuable. Wit- hout this many applications would not work at all. For many applications the existing position libraries are not good enough, for example augmented reality applications which requires millimeter precision for a good experience. The goal of this report is to study if GNSS positioning can be improved for smartphones.The study focuses mostly on Android and has the goal of using the method “trilateration” to combine multiple satellites position and their distance to a receiver in order to calculate a real position. The projekt consists of two parts: and Android application and a Java Tomcat server. The android applica- tion uses the programming library “Location” to access raw GNSS-data for cal- culating the distance between the receiver and the satellites, which is called “pseudorange”, and the server functions as a REST API which provides GALI- LEO satellites current position. The project tries to combine these parameters in the Application to create a position. Although the report did not succeed in com- bining these parameters to calculate a position, it does describe of it is still pos- sible; which applications has succeeded before and what others ought to think about when starting similar studies. This project would require a bit more time to reach its end goal, but the fact that raw GNSS-data has become available to all developers on Android is a promising development since others may conti- nue or do their own research. This project focuses solely on GALILEO satelli- tes, mostly to time constraints. In future works all available satellite constella- tions should be used for better results.Att få en position av en smartphoneanvändare är mycket användbart, utan detta skulle många applikationer inte fungera alls. För många applikationer är den givna positionerings biblioteken inte tillräckligt bra dock, som t.ex. för augmen- ted reality applikationer som kräver millimeter-säker precision för en bra an- vändarupplevelse. Målet med denna rapport är att undersöka om GNSS-positio- nering kan förbättras inom smartphones. Undersökningen fokuserar mest på Android och har som målsättning att använda metoden “trilateration” för att kombinera satelliternas position och dess distans till en mottagare för att sedan räkna ut en verklig position. Projektet består av två delar: en Android applika- tion och en Java TomCat server. Android applikationen använder programme- rings biblioteket “Location” för att få tag på rå GNSS-data för att räkna ut di- stansen mellan satelliter och mottagaren, vilket kallas för “pseudorange”, och servern fungerar som ett REST API som returnerar GALILEO-satelliters nuva- rande position. Applikationen försöker kombinera pseudorange och satelliter- nas position med trilateration för at få ut mottagarens position. Rapporten lyck- as inte uppnå detta mål dock, men den beskriver hur det ändå är möjligt, vilka andra applikationer som lyckats och vad andra bör tänka på om de vill göra lik- nande studier. Det skulle behövas lite mer tid för att avsluta detta projekt, men faktumet att råa GNSS-data har blivit tillgänglig för alla Android-utvecklare, från att ha varit helt gömd, är en lovande utveckling då det låter andra forska på egen hand. Detta projekt fokuserar enbart på GALILEO satelliter, mestadels för tidsbegränsningar.

This research presents a methodology for prediction of building shadows cast on urban roads using high-resolution aerial images and Digital Elevation Models (DEM). Shadow elements can be used in the modeling of contextual information, as e. g., in the semiautomatic or automatic road network extraction from satellite or aerial images, mainly in dense urban areas. Context models the relations among objects in an image, as e. g., the relations among buildings and adjacent roads. The use of contextual knowledge has become more common in image analysis processes, mainly if complex scenes are present. This research drew inspiration from the present possibilities of obtaining accurate and dense DEM from airborne laser scanning data of complex urban areas. The proposed methodology consists in three sequential steps. First, the building roof contours are manually extracted from an intensity image generated from the laser DEM. In similar way, the road side contours are extracted, now from the radiometric information of the laser scanning data. Second, the roof contour polygons are projected onto the adjacent roads by using the parallel projection. The direction of the parallel straight lines is computed from the solar ephemeris, which depends on the taken time of the aerial photograph. Finally, the parts of shadow polygons that are freed of building perspective obstructions are determined, given rise to new shadow polygons.

Através das estratégias elaboradas são analisados diversos fatores de importância relevante nos processamentos dos dados GPS, como: influência de dados meteorológicos no processamento de linhas bases longas; resultados de processamentos com efemérides transmitidas e precisas; resultados de processamentos com linhas bases de comprimentos homogêneos e menores ou igual a 150 km; resultados de processamentos considerando apenas duas horas e trinta minutos do tempo total de duração das sessões de observação. Os resultados dos ajustamentos destas estratégias são comparados entre si e se apresenta, então, análises e conclusões sobre a influência dos fatores analisadosThe present work consists in the presentation of a methodology for study, elaboration and analyses of strategies to process GPS observables for geodetic networks. In the development of this work, GPS data of the geodetic network of the State of Sao Paulo, concluded in 1994, were used. This network is composed twenty-four points scattered in the State, plus the vertex CHUA, that is the fundamental point of the triangulation of the brazilian geodesy system. Through the strategies elaborated, several factors of main importance for data GPS processing, are analyzed, such as: the influence of meteorological data processing of long baselines; the results of data processing with broadcast and precise ephemeris; the results of data processing with baselines of homogeneous lengths and smaller than or equal to 150 km; the results of data processing considering only two hours and thirty minutes of the total time of duration of the observation sessions. The results of the adjustment of these strategies are compared to each other, followed by analyses and conclusions about the influence of these factors on data processing

Full textAbstract:
La relativité générale (RG) et le modèle standard des particules permettent de comprendre les quatre interactions fondamentales de la nature. La formulation d'une théorie quantique de la gravitation permettrait d'unifier ces deux tenants de la physique moderne. D'après les grandes théories d'unification, une telle union est possible moyennant la brisure de certaines symétries fondamentales apparaissant à la fois en RG et dans le modèle standard telle la symétrie de Lorentz. Les violations de la symétrie de Lorentz peuvent être paramétrées dans tous les domaines de la Physique par une théorie effective du champ appelée extension du modèle standard (SME). Une violation au principe d'invariance locale de Lorentz dans le secteur gravitationnel serait supposée engendrer des perturbations dans la dynamique orbitale des corps présents dans le système solaire, notamment la Lune. Ainsi, à partir des données extrêmement précises de télémétrie laser, l'orbite lunaire peut être minutieusement analysée afin de débusquer d'éventuelles anomalies dans son mouvement. Dans cette optique, ELPN (Ephéméride Lunaire Parisienne Numérique), une nouvelle éphéméride lunaire intégrée dans le cadre du formalisme SME a été développée durant la thèse. ELPN fournit les solutions au problème lunaire sous la forme de séries temporelles datées en temps dynamique barycentrique (TDB). Parmi les solutions numériquement intégrées, mentionnons la position et la vitesse du vecteur barycentrique Terre-Lune, les angles de librations lunaires, la différence entre le temps terrestre et le TDB, ainsi que l'ensemble des dérivées partielles intégrées depuis l'équation aux variations. Les prédictions de l'éphéméride ont été utilisées afin de réduire les observations lunar laser ranging (LLR). Dans le cadre de la RG, la dispersion des résidus s'est avérée en accord avec les dispersions calculées à partir des éphémérides INPOP13b et DE430. Dans le cadre du SME minimal, l'analyse des données LLR a permis de contraindre toutes violations à l'invariance locale de Lorentz. Une grande attention a été portée à l'analyse des incertitudes afin de fournir des contraintes réalistes. Ainsi, dans un premier temps, les combinaisons linéaires de coefficients SME ont été isolées puis ajustées aux observations. Puis, dans un second temps, les incertitudes réalistes ont été déterminées par une méthode de ré-échantillonnage. L'analyse des données de télémétrie laser Lune n'a pas permis de révéler de violations au principe d'invariance locale de Lorentz agissant au niveau de l'orbite lunaire. Les prédictions de la RG ont donc été validées avec des précisions absolues allant de 10-9 à 10-12General Relativity (GR) and the standard model of particle physics provide a comprehensive description of the four interactions of nature. A quantum gravity theory is expected to merge these two pillars of modern physics. From unification theories, such a combination would lead to a breaking of fundamental symmetry appearing in both GR and the standard model of particle physics as the Lorentz symmetry. Lorentz symmetry violations in all fields of physics can be parametrized by an effective field theory framework called the standard-model extension (SME). Local Lorentz Invariance violations in the gravitational sector should impact the orbital motion of bodies inside the solar system, such as the Moon. Thus, the accurate lunar laser ranging (LLR) data can be analyzed in order to study precisely the lunar motion to look for irregularities. For this purpose, ELPN (Ephéméride Lunaire Parisienne Numérique), a new lunar ephemeris has been integrated in the SME framework. This new numerical solution of the lunar motion provides time series dated in temps dynamique barycentrique (TDB). Among that series, we mention the barycentric position and velocity of the Earth-Moon vector, the lunar libration angles, the time scale difference between the terrestrial time and TDB and partial derivatives integrated from variational equations. ELPN predictions have been used to analyzed LLR observations. In the GR framework, the residuals standard deviations has turned out to be the same order of magnitude compare to those of INPOP13b and DE430 ephemerides. In the framework of the minimal SME, LLR data analysis provided constraints on local Lorentz invariance violations. Spetial attention was paid to analyze uncertainties to provide the most realistic constraints. Therefore, in a first place, linear combinations of SME coefficients have been derived and fitted to LLR observations. In a second time, realistic uncertainties have been determined with a resampling method. LLR data analysis did not reveal local Lorentz invariance violations arising on the lunar orbit. Therefore, GR predictions are recovered with absolute precisions of the order of 10-9 to 10-12

Inventario (1973-2014) est une chronique de presse de longue haleine, basée sur l’empathie avec le lecteur et sur des formes de démocratisation de la culture, publiée dans le supplément Diorama de la cultura puis dans la revue Proceso de Mexico, et à laquelle le poète José Emilio Pacheco (1939-2014) se consacra jusqu’aux derniers instants de sa vie. La poésie trouve dans ces pages un espace privilégié de publication, de critique et de récits des faits. Notre travail de compilation de 1973 à 1983 embrasse l’époque de consolidation d’Inventario ainsi que le développement d’une écriture où se côtoient poésie et journalisme, histoire et littérature. Le poème de circonstance, abondant dans Inventario parmi d’autres formes expressives, permet une lecture nouvelle et intermédiale de l’oeuvre de l’auteur mexicain ; cette forme poétique loin de se trouver empesée par les événements promeut une pédagogie du passé. De manière complémentaire, Inventario se profle lui-même comme une poétique : en tant que possibilité d’habiter le monde en empathie avec les auteurs, les lecteurs et les textes ; en tant que manière de désacraliser et de démonter les hiérarchies latentes de la littérature ; en tant que versifcation de l’Histoire dans des fragments qui sont à la recherche de l’Autre et qui posent le problème d’un imaginaire multilingue, “expropriateur” de ressources naturelles provenant d’autres langues ; unechronique toujours éphémère et changeanteInventario is a long-lasting press chronicle - based on a feeling of empathy with the reader and on many forms of cultural democratization - which was published in the Mexican newspaper supplement Diorama de la cultura, then in Proceso magazine. The poet José Emilio Pacheco (1939-2014) devoted himself to this creation up to the last minutes of his life. Poetry finds in these pages a privileged publication space in which criticism and factual narratives are also involved. Our compilation - from 1973 to 1983 - embraces Inventario's consolidation period and the development of a rich writing in which poetry and journalism stand along with history and literature. Circumstance poems, which are very present in Inventario together with other expressive forms, engage an innovative and intermedial reading of the Mexican poet's legacy. Such poetical form is rarely starched by recent events, but promotes on the contrary an educational method to better apprehend the past. In a complementary manner, Inventario presents itself as a poetics for what it embodies: a possibility of inhabiting the world by following the readers’/ writers’ empathy; a form of desacralization and destruction of inherent and concealed literature hierarchies; a fragmented versification of History which seeks for otherness and questions a multi-linguistic imaginary system - an imaginary “expropriator” of other languages’ natural resources; an ephemeral and ever-changing chronicle

This study presents solutions for GPS orbit computation from broadcast, precise ephemerides, and the precise broadcast orbit correction using least squares support vector machine. Moreover, it analyzes impacts of sampling time and fitting method and the choice of ephemerides on precision of orbit, also evaluates the accuracy of ground point positioning after fitting. According to the experimental results, the fitting errors of satellite’s 3D coordinate components are still in the range of precise ephemerides while using LSSVM fitting with training set of about 75% sampling rate in 2 hours. The single point positioning precision of fitting ephemerides are 0.3~0.7m higher, and the positioning satellite coordinates are about 1.5m closer than that obtained from original broadcast ephemerides computing. Results show that the proposed approach by using fitting of ephemerides to reduce computation process has been adopted, it solves the problem in the past that the precise ephemerides couldn’t directly be used in ground single point positioning due to the lack of satellite velocity measurement, and also prove that the studied approach is capable of providing an effective and universal precise fitting orbit, upgrading the accuracy of ground point positioning.

Full textAbstract:
The establishment of the International GPS Service for Geodynamics (IGS) in
1994 and the rapid development of its high quality products have opened promising,
new capabilities for the global GPS positioning community. Two important products
of the IGS are the precise satellite ephemerides and the precisely-determined
locations of many permanent tracking sites distributed over the entire globe. In
addition, we can obtain high quality RINEX data from the global tracking network
on a daily basis.
The combination of a multi-purpose regional GPS network and the nearby IGS
fiducial stations, along with the use of IGS precise ephemerides, can provide results
in a well-defined global reference frame with maximum accuracy and minimum
computational burden. We are fast moving towards the situation of having multi
purpose GPS networks containing medium length baselines (up to 1000 km), which
require the highest accuracy level of positioning. As a general rule of thumb, the
common-mode errors due to ionospheric, tropospheric and orbital uncertainties
increase with baseline distance. This therefore introduces a range of problems in the
processing of medium length baselines, such as ambiguity resolution, vertical
precision associated with the treatment of the tropospheric delay, etc.
The results from GPS processing can be used for many different applications,
such as in the fields of glaciology, volcanology, oceanography, meteorology, etc.,
and so we increasingly require a high degree of flexibility and innovation in our GPS
processing techniques.
The aim of this thesis is to improve our processing techniques over medium
length baselines making use of permanent stations, such as the IGS fiducial stations
and the IGS precise ephemerides. A processing technique is required that exploits the
continuity of the GPS data and that is able to satisfy various high precision GPS
applications (at the 1 part in 107 level or better). We suggest a new approach for GPS
processing, the so-called continuous processing approach, rather than the classical
processing that pertains to batch least squares adjustment.
For a continuous processing methodology, we have to resolve a number of related
matters, such as cycle slip detection and repair; outlier detection; the use of
sequential least squares adjustment, incorporating between-epoch correlation and the
necessary modification of the unknown vector and cofactor matrix to maintain the
continuity of data processing under the influence of a satellite combination change;
ambiguity resolution, and estimation strategies of tropospheric delay.
We demonstrate the efficiency of the new technique using several different high
precision GPS applications in geodynamics. Three studies were undertaken using
data from a tide gauge network within Australia, the Northridge earthquake event in
North America, and a study of the motion of the Amery Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
The results from using the continuous processing approach developed in this
thesis are in good agreement with previous studies but yield additional insight into
some of the physical processes, such as the motion of the Amery Ice Shelf. The
utilisation of improved stochastic modelling of measurements and the continuous
nature of the processing increases the effectiveness and reliability of outlier detection
and ambiguity resolution. The posteriori variance factor is also improved by up to
30%. With greater flexibility in the monitoring of complicated movements of
stations, the new technique will prove to be a very promising tool for high precision
applications involving regional GPS networks.

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on the Sun's influence on the motion near the triangular libration points of the Earth-Moon system. It is known that there exists a very strong resonant perturbation near those points that produces large deviations from the libration points, with an amplitude of about 250,000 km and a period of 1,500 days. However, it has been shown that it is possible to find initial conditions that negate the effects of that perturbation, even resulting in stable, although very large, periodic orbits. Using two different models, the goal of this research is to determine the initial configurations of the Earth-Moon-Sun system that produce minimal deviations from the libration points, and to provide a better understanding of the dynamics of this highly nonlinear problem. First, the Bicircular Problem (BCP) is considered, which is an idealized model of the Earth-Moon-Sun System. The impact of the initial configuration of the Earth-Moon-Sun system is studied for various propagation times and it is found that there exist two initial configurations that produce minimal deviations from L₄ or L₅. The resulting trajectories are very sensitive to the initial configuration, as the mean deviation from the libration points can decrease by 30,000 km with less than a degree change in the initial configuration. Two critical initial configurations of the system were identified that could allow a particle to remain within 30,000 km of the libration points for as long as desired. A more realistic model, based on JPL ephemerides, is also used, and the influence of the initial epoch on the motion near the triangular points is studied. Through the year 2007, 51 epochs are found that produce apparently stable librational motion near L₄, and 60 near L₅. But the motion observed depends greatly on the initial epoch. Some epochs are even found to significantly reduce the deviation from L₄ and L₅, with the spacecraft remaining within at most 90,000 km from the triangular points for upwards of 3,000 days. Similarly to what was observed in the BCP, these trajectories are found to be extremely sensitive to the initial epoch.text

An increasing number of GPS applications require a high level of accuracy. To reduce the error contributed by the GPS ephemerides, an accurate modeling of the forces acting on GPS satellites is necessary. These forces can be categorized into gravitational and non-gravitational forces. The non-gravitational forces are a significant contribution to the total force on a GPS satellite but they are still not fully understood whereas the gravitational forces are well modeled. This study focuses on two non-gravitational forces: Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP) and the y-bias force. Different SRP models are available in the University of Texas Multi-Satellite Orbit Determination Program (MSODP). The recently developed University College London model was implemented for the purpose of this study. Several techniques to compute parameters associated with SRP models and the y-bias force during an orbit prediction were examined. Using the International GNSS Service (IGS) precise ephemerides as a reference, five different models were compared in the study. Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) residuals were also studied to validate the approach. Results showed that the analytical UCL model performed as well as a purely empirical model such as the Extended CODE model. This is important since analytical models attempt to represent the physical phenomena and thus might be better suited to separate SRP from other forces. The y-bias force was then shown to have a once per revolution effect. The time evolution of the y-bias was found to be dependent on the SRP model used, the satellite Block type, the orbital plane, and the attitude of the satellite which suggests that estimates of y-bias contain errors from other sources, particularly the SRP models. The dependency of the y-bias evolution on the orbital plane suggests that the orientation of the plane towards the Sun is important.text

Global Positioning System (GPS) has become more popular today. With the increase of personal mobile products, more demands from navigation and positioning systems are issued. Among them, the higher accuracy in position and velocity are one of the important key factors. A traditional GPS receiver usually takes 12.5 minutes to download the navigation message to provide location-based services, so that shortening the time-to-first-fix (TTFF) to achieve fast-positioning is a common goal of many research tasks. Since the precise ephemeris can be downloaded from International GNSS Service (IGS), it is possible to use the ephemeris to strengthen TTFF performance. The primary approach of this study is to use Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) that converts the above IGS precise orbit (as measurement) into the precise broadcast ephemeris (as estimated state). Since the measurement partial differential is a complex mathematics model, therefore, adding the state error, the measurement error, and etc. with EKF approach can improves the accuracy of the state and the derived model. In this study, the satellite’s positions at the sequential epochs have been predicted by the EKF-estimated precise broadcast ephemeris and compared with the true precise orbit. The average error of the satellite position can be reduced from 3 meters to 0.4 meters. When decreasing the number of measurements, combining with the satellite’s velocity is useful to enhance the accuracy of satellite position. In this study, the accuracy comparison between EKF and Batch Least Squares Filter (BLSF) has been analyzed. Under the same condition, the accuracy obtained with using EKF and BLSF are 0.4 meters and 0.62 meters, respectively. Clearly, the result shows that the orbit accuracy using EKF approach is better than that using BLSF.

When the GPS receiver is opened, its the first speed of the positioning is depended on the receiver which has the available GPS navigation message. If the GPS receiver doesn’t have any GPS navigation message, we will call it to be the cold start. The warm start has the available almanac. And if it has the ephemeris, it will be called the hot start. At present the specification of the cold start and the warm start, their positioning time is less than 35 seconds. And the hot starting specification has been possible to achieve which in one second then locates. In order to achieve the high sensitivity and the fast positioning, we will make the GPS receiver to maintain under the similar hot starting condition. The present paper mainly uses a satellite ephemeris to estimate the latter three day of satellite position and to achieve the GPS Satellite Long-Term Ephemeris. We will use the satellite orbital mechanics and movement theory to create the equation of two-body motion, and add the correction term of the perturbation (non-uniform spherical earth and n-body ) to correct the disturbance of the satellite which caused by external force. We will do the numerical integration to obtain the satellite position, so that GPS receiver will keep the hot start and achieve the purpose of the rapid positioning. Keyword：1.Two-body motion; 2. Non-uniform spherical earth; 3. N-body motion; 4. Numerical integration.

The prediction of satellite orbit has played a crucial role in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). For a GNSS receiver, ephemeris extension will enable fast positioning even in a cold-start situation. In this thesis, we propose an average method to estimate the Kepler elements, which in turn can be used to calculate the satellite position. An analytical solution is obtained by the method of averaging, where the satellite orbit perturbation considered in the thesis, includes nun-uniform spherical earth effect, n-body motion disturbances. In compared with the traditional numerical method (such as Runge-Kutta method), the principal advantages of the analytical solutions lies in that prediction of orbit error does not accumulate over time; and in the mean time the computation efficiency also improves.

The of satellite orbit prediction has played a crucial role in GNSS navigation. Before the user's position can be actually determined, the receiver needs to download the navigation message in order to predict the satellite's position. This is a very time-consuming process and the receiver needs to download the message once every one to two hours. In this paper, we construct a perturbation- based method to calculate and predict satellite's orbit. The method is main based an numerical integration of perturbed satellite orbital equation, By considering the nun-uniform spherical earth effect, n-body, solar radiation pressure and earth tide, we can predict in an accurate manner the position of the satellite for a 3-day period, and we only need one single epoch of navigation data.

The traditional GPS receiver must download broadcast ephemeris from the satellites. Downloading the information for guidance will cost 30 seconds, which will cost approximate 12.5 minutes for download the entire guidance message. The AGPS method setups the GPS receiver through the AGPS server, that will download the broadcast ephemeris from the satellites beforehand. The AGPS server will pass the broadcast ephemeris on to the user receiver by the internet connection, which will reduces the time to first fix ( TTFF ), and achieves the fast navigation. The primary method of this research is to use the precise ephemeris International GNSS Service, which provides and decides the observation Partial differential model to convert into a more useful broadcast ephemeris by using the Least-Squares method. The observation Partial differential model is a complex mathematics model. Therefore, the condition error, the observation error, and etc. will be added to prove the accuracy of the derived model. Computing respectively of the satellite position is compared with using precise ephemeris and broadcast ephemeris that is able to decrease the maximum error from 14 meter to 0.8 meter. In addition, it has the same navigation result by using broadcast ephemeris, but the users can download this ephemeris several hours before they go outdoors. It could increase the convenience for the users as well.

The Global Positioning System（GPS）is a set of real-time positioning system. So long as the signal surrounding the user's receiver and satellite is not obstructed, the GPS could provide the positioning three-dimension service for any users on earth in the absence of influences of weather, time, place etc. However, in addition to the accuracy of location, velocity, and time, the length of time the GPS receiver needs to fix for the first use under different circumstances is also an important performance parameter that cannot be ignored. Whether the GPS satellite is equipped with ephemeris is also closely related to the time the GPS receiver needs for the first fix. In this experiment, we attempts to construct a fundamental period orbit model, clock correction model, satellite orbit period, fundamental error of estimated orbit and so on to predict GPS satellite orbit in future 7 days and clock correction by several tools such as neural network and polynomial curve fitting and operating in coordination with the GPS’s satellite orbit's in related cyclical characteristics and the known GPS satellite ephemeris. In the experiment, the average error of the orbit estimation may be less than 500 meters on the 5th day and the average error of the clock correction estimation may be less than 15 nanoseconds in the 7 days. Even if, in the Generalization tests of this experimental technique by other dates, the average error of the orbit estimation may be less than 500 meters at the 3rd day and the corresponded average error of the clock correction estimation may be less than 62 nanoseconds.

The introduction of M-Code to the GPS signal structure can redefine the accuracy of the broadcast ephemeris. Existing ephemeris generation systems use dual frequency observations, obtained through the tracking of existing precise codes on the L1 and L2 frequencies. These codes are modulated using Binary Phase Shift Key (BPSK) modulation. The modernization signal M-Code is modulated using Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) modulation. In this study pseudorange observables derived from the tracking of M-Code are proven to have greater accuracy than those from existing precise codes, given equivalent receiver designs and operating conditions. In addition, the error due to specular multipath is derived. These general models of noise and multipath can be applied to any BOC modulated signals, including Galileo and QZSS. When applied to M-Code, the models predict that the maximum multipath error in the pseudorange is reduced in magnitude by 50% compared to the existing precise codes. However the range of multipath delays for which M-Code observables exhibit multipath is approximately twice that associated with existing precise BPSK codes. Existing ephemeris generation processes use the ionosphere free combination and carrier phase smoothing of the pseudorange to form smoothed pseudoranges. The smoothed pseudoranges are then input as measurements to an ephemeris filter. The analytic models of multipath error in the pseudorange and carrier phase observables are applied to predict errors in the smoothed pseudorange. Multipath error, amplified by ionosphere free combination, causes a bias in the smoothed pseudorange when parameterized as a function of multipath delay. There are conditions under which the bias is zero mean, and in those conditions multipath is suppressed. The mechanism for those conditions is solved and discussed, for both BOC and BPSK signal tracking. The solution of carrier phase multipath for BOC modulated signals also admits solutions with a special quality not seen in the BPSK solution. There are multipath delays for which the carrier phase multipath is identically zero regardless of the multipath phase. The zero carrier phase multipath condition may be the most promising feature associated with observables derived from BOC modulated codes.text
