SP3EphemerisFile Object

Top  Previous  Next

Description

The SP3Ephemeris file, also known as “Precise Ephemeris,” contains data records for the orbit and clock states for the entire GPS constellation. There are two versions of the format, Version A and Version C; FreeFlyer supports the reading and writing of both versions. The data records are nominally provided at 15 minute intervals, the time system of the file is GPS time, and the reference frame for the orbit data is Earth-Centered-Earth-Fixed (ECEF). FreeFlyer automatically converts between ECEF and ICRF when reading and writing SP3EphemerisFiles.
