Since February 1995 our team is involved in the project GLOMO. This
project is promoted by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and
was prolonged to the end of 2000. The mean goal of the project in the first
phase was the installation and operation of GLONASS-Monitoring Stations
and the distribution of derived system information to the user.
On the base of the gathered data we derive general system information
and distribute them via WWW. Our expectations for an increasing demand
of such information are fully confirmed by the current user access on our
web-site. This is now done at the site Neustrelitz for Real-Time by means
of a local monitor server ( update rate 1s ) and for a more detailed analysis
on a near Real-Time base with the GUIS (GLONASS Updated Information Service).
The project results will also contribute in more general about the
accuracy and reliability of any other GNSS and will be an assistance to
the development of a civilian European Navigation Satellite System. The
major tasks and objectives of the project GLOMO are:
-
Building and operation of a local GLONASS monitor station
-
Connecting stations in Germany to an pre-operational monitoring network
-
Co-operate with partners in Europe to a large-scale network
-
Implementation tools and algorithm for near Real-Time Monitoring
-
Programs for network integration at the main station
The monitoring in a large scale network supplies more location independent
status information about the satellite system itself. Therefore an important
aspect of the project GLOMO is the co-operation with Russian Institute.
There are close contacts to the Mission Control Centre ( MCC ) in Korolev,
near Moscow. The field of activities are raw data exchange, mutual use
of both of the two software pools and publishing of results on the counterpart
web page.
