# Multi-constellation coverage: the four global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) together, # as a map of satellites in view, dilution of precision (DOP) and availability over the whole # Earth for one day. # # Each system is a preset built from its operator's published nominal elements: # - GPS: the baseline 24-slot constellation, GPS Standard Positioning Service Performance # Standard, 5th edition (2020), Tables 3.2-1 and 3.2-3; # - Galileo: the Walker 24/3/1 reference constellation at 29 599.801 km semi-major axis and # 56 deg, Galileo Open Service Service Definition Document issue 1.1, Tables 1 and 23; # - BeiDou: 24 medium Earth orbit satellites in a Walker 24/3/1 at 21 528 km and 55 deg, # 3 geostationary and 3 inclined geosynchronous satellites, BeiDou Open Service # Performance Standard 3.0, section 4.1 (the medium-orbit phase and the inclined # geosynchronous crossing longitude are modelled, the standard does not state them); # - GLONASS: 24 satellites, 3 planes, 19 100 km, 64.8 deg, from the slot formula of the # GLONASS Interface Control Document edition 5.1, section 5.2. # # The receiver estimates one clock per system (clock = "per-constellation"), so a fix needs # three position unknowns plus one clock for every system in view. The four systems' slot # tables come from different reference epochs, so their relative phase is not a snapshot of # any real date; the statistics over a day are what the run is for. # # What the run answers: how many satellites are in view, the position, horizontal, vertical # and geometric DOP per 10 deg cell, and the share of time the position DOP (PDOP) is at or # below 6 above a 10 deg mask.
