GGSP Prototype at a glance Galileo Geodetic Service Provider (GGSP) Prototype started in July 2005 as project of the 6th FP of the EU Prolongation until May 2009 Main tasks: Realization of a GTRF aligned to the ITRF Implementation of a prototype for a permanent service Inclusion of GSS when installed Recommendations for the permanent service Software extension for Galileo: Bernese, NAPEOS and EPOS Galileo ready The GGSP project is managed by the European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA) through EU 6FP funds EGU, Vienna 21/04/09 3
GTRF realization Initial realization in November 2007 About 100 IGS sites and 13 GESS Campaign-like analysis (4 weeks each three months) Since September 2008 continuous operation RINEX 3.0 as standard data format within GGSP for GPS+Galileo (GIOVE) data Software tests and validation Combined solution aligned to ITRF2005 Semi-annual releases EGU, Vienna 21/04/09 4
