摘要
A uniformly distributed global ground network is essential for the accurate determination of GNSS orbit and clock parameters. However, achieving an ideal ground network is often difficult. When limited to a sparse or regional network of ground stations, the integration of LEO satellites can substantially enhance the accuracy of GNSS Precise Orbit Determination (POD). In practical processing, discontinuities with complicated gaps can occur in LEO attitude quaternions, particularly when working with a restricted observation network. This hampers the accuracy of determining GNSS/LEO integrated orbits. To address this, an investigation was conducted using data from seven LEO satellites, including those from Sentinel-3, GRACE-FO, and Swarm, to evaluate integrated POD performance under sparse or regional station conditions. Particular focus was placed on addressing attitude discontinuities. Four scenarios were analyzed, encompassing both continuous data availability and one-, two-, and three-hour interruptions after one hour of continuous data availability. The results showed that the proposed quaternion rotation matrix interpolation method is reliable for the integrated POD of GNSSs and LEOs with strict attitude control.
