Hi there! Does anyone know where data from the GPS is available? Any data at all - positions. clock readings anything like that. Many thanks!
..GPS satellite dataVanadium 50 said:Your phone.
I'm looking for raw data for the GPS satellites. So, if for example I had data in regards to satellite positions I could plot the data. Then compare with numerical solutions of Kepler and Schwarzschild orbits. Along these kind of lines but by no means restricted to that.BvU said:##^{50}V\ ## reply is the kind I had in mind (but refrained from...). But MM deserves better: if only he/she gave us a bit more context: you want to look at the raw satellite data with some kind of receiver ? Or you want to know how it all works in detail ?
The most commonly available types of data through GPS include position data (latitude, longitude, and altitude), velocity data (speed and direction), and time data (clock readings).
The accuracy of GPS data can vary depending on factors such as satellite visibility, atmospheric conditions, and receiver quality. Generally, civilian GPS signals have an accuracy of about 10-20 meters, while military signals have much higher accuracy at around 1-2 meters.
GPS data is typically updated once every second, but this can vary depending on the type of GPS receiver being used and the specific application. Some high-precision receivers may update data more frequently.
Yes, GPS signals can be affected by interference from other electronic devices or atmospheric conditions. This can result in inaccuracies or interruptions in the data being received by GPS receivers.
GPS data is available globally, as long as there is a clear view of the sky to receive signals from at least four satellites. However, some areas may have limited or no GPS coverage, such as inside buildings or in remote locations with obstructed views of the sky.
