The ESA/UPC GNSS-Lab tool (gLAB): an advanced multipurpose package to process and analyse GNSS data
2010
Satellite Navigation has become a keystone for the development of Europe and its citizens. It is then essential to provide adequate educational programmes so to ensure a prepared workforce for the GNSS sector in Europe. In this context, ESA has launched a complete Satellite Navigation Educational program, called EDUNAV, aiming at providing upto-date GNSS based educational material and educational tools.
The GNSS-Lab (gLAB) Educational Software Tool is part of this
ESA EDUNAV initiative.
gLAB, developed under ESA Contract by the research group of
Astronomy and Geomatics (gAGE) from the Universitat
Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), is an interactive educational
multipurpose package to process and analyse GNSS data. gLAB
performs precise modeling of GNSS observables (pseudorange
and carrier phase) at the centimetre level, allowing both
standalone GPS positioning and PPP. Every single error
contributor may be assessed independently, which, in turn,
provides a major educational benefit. gLAB is adapted to a
variety of standard formats like RINEX-3.00, SP3, ANTEX and
SINEX files, among others. Moreover, functionality is also
included for GPS, Galileo and GLONASS, allowing performing
some data analysis with real multi-constellation data.
The gLAB software tool is quite flexible, able to run under Linux
and Windows operating systems and is provided free of charge
by ESA to universities and GNSS professionals.
