China has made continuous efforts to establish its own independent BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) to provide Positioning, Navigation and Timing services, which rely on the high quality of orbit and clock products.

This article summarizes the achievements in the Precise Orbit Determination of BDS satellites in the past decade with the focus on observation and orbit dynamic models, e.g., phase center corrections, satellite attitude, and solar radiation pressure.

In addition, the urgent requirement for error modeling of the ISL data is emphasized based on the analysis of the observation noises, and the incompatible characteristics of orbit and clock derived with L-band and ISL data are discussed.

The further researches on the improvement of ISL and L-band observation models, dynamic perturbations and the potential contribution of BDS to the estimation of geodetic parameters are identified.

This paper summarizes the research progress of Beidou satellite precision orbit determination at home and abroad in the past 10 years, especially in geometric observation models, orbit dynamic models and orbit determination strategies. Firstly, the metadata of the Beidou satellite, especially the geometric and physical attribute parameters of the satellite star and the solar sail board, are given, and the ground measurement station and low-orbit satellite tracking of the Beidou satellite are sorted out and summarized. In terms of geometric error model, the research status of satellite yaw attitude and antenna phase center correction model is summarized in detail.

Synopsis

Since the 1980s, China has actively explored the establishment of an independent Beidou satellite navigation system, and through a three-step strategy, it has successfully established the Beidou-1 system consisting of three geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites, the Beidou-2 system composed of 5 GEO, 5 inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO) satellites and 4 medium-orbit (MEO) satellites, and the Beidou-3 system composed of 3 GEO, 3 IGSOs and 24 MEOs. The Beidou-2 system officially provided regional positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services from the end of December 2012, while Beidou-3 officially provided global PNT services from July 31, 2020.

Orbit and clock difference are the core parameters that determine the service performance of the Beidou satellite system, and also have an important impact on the estimation and determination of geodetic parameters such as earth orientation parameters (EOP) and geocentricity. In this paper, we summarize the research progress of beidou satellite precision orbit determination in the past 10 years from the aspects of satellite system, tracking data, geometric observation model, orbit dynamic model and orbit determination strategy. The influence and contribution of Beidou satellite on the estimation of geodetic parameters are further discussed, and finally the follow-up research content of Beidou satellite precision orbit determination is discussed.

I BeiDou system status and satellite metadata

At present, the space segment of the Beidou satellite navigation system is composed of the Beidou-2 system (5 GEO, 7 IGSOs and 3 MEOs), the Beidou-3 experimental system (2 IGSOs and 2 MEOs) and the Beidou-3 global system (3 GEO, 3 IGSOs and 24 MEOs). Detailed status in orbit can be found in the Test and Evaluation Research Center of the China Satellite Navigation System Administration Office (http://www.csno-tarc.cn/system/constellation).

Metadata including Beidou-2 and 3 satellite antenna phase center deviation, mass, satellite satellite structure and optical properties, attitude control mode, etc. was made public at the end of 2019 (CSNO 2019a) to support high-precision data processing and orbit dynamic modeling of Beidou satellites. The Beidou-3 GEO and IGSO satellite stars manufactured by the China Academy of Space Technology (hereinafter referred to as the Fifth Academy) are rectangular stretched along the Z axis, and in addition to the solar sails, geo satellites are equipped with truss antennas on the ± X surface; in addition to the truss antennas installed on the +X surface, the IGSO satellite also has two small antennas on the -X surface (Chen and Wu, 2020). The Beidou-3 MEO satellite of the China Academy of Space Technology (hereinafter referred to as the Fifth Academy) adopts a special platform, and its structure presents a T-shape composed of two rectangles of size, which is suitable for multi-satellite launch and direct orbit, so as to meet the task requirements of batch development and rapid networking of satellite groups (Zhang et al., 2020). In addition, some satellites have additional communication antennas on the -X-side. The satellite structure of the Beidou-3 MEO satellite developed by the Institute of Microsatellite Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the small satellite) has a rectangular shape stretched along the X axis. The difference in the direction of the star stretch will cause the orbital error of the five houses and the small satellite MEO satellite to have different characteristics.

The disclosed Metadata of the Beidou satellite contains only the absorption parameters of the satellite stars and solar sails, and lacks specular reflection and diffuse reflection coefficients for light pressure modeling. Chen et al. (2019) gives in more detail the material types of Beidou-2 IGSO and MEO satellite stars and solar sails and the corresponding optical coefficients. With this reference, this paper obtains and gives rough optical coefficient values for non-conservative force modeling of the Beidou-2 and Beidou-3 satellites.

II BeiDou satellite tracking data

The L-band tracking data of the BDStar-Ground mainly comes from the Beidou Experimental Tracking Network (BETS) of Wuhan University, the International Satellite Navigation Service Organization (IGS) and the Global Continuous Monitoring and Evaluation System (iGMAS). The BETS network was established in March 2011 by the Satellite Navigation and Positioning Technology Research Center of Wuhan University and consists of about 15 stations (Shi et al., 2011), providing the initial tracking data for the Beidou-2 satellite signal. The iGMAS network is constructed from the Global Continuous Monitoring and Evaluation System project and consists of 31 globally distributed sites (Jiao et al., 2011), which can be downloaded from the corresponding data centers. With the vigorous development of emerging navigation systems, IGS co-ordinated the establishment of the Multimode GNSS Working Group (MGEX) and actively promoted the establishment of multimode tracking stations. As of September 2021, there are more than 250 stations in the MGEX network that can track the Beidou signal, and their data can be downloaded from IGS data centers.

Figure 2 Tracking of Beidou-2 and 3 satellites by IGS and iGMAS stations.

Figure 2 shows the change in the number of iGMAS and MGEX stations capable of tracking Beidou-2 and Beidou-3 since 2014. It can be seen from this that for mgex stations, the tracking capabilities of Beidou-2 and No. 3 satellites are gradually improving, especially in the middle of 2018. However, not all Beidou satellite tracking stations have a similar number. Basically, the earlier a satellite is launched, the greater the number of tracking stations (Figure 3). The difference in the number of tracking stations will have a systematic impact on the accuracy of satellite orbits.

Figure 3 Tracking of different beidou-3 satellite ground stations.

In addition to ground tracking stations, there are a small number of low-orbit satellites that carry spaceborne GNSS receivers to provide on-board Beidou observations, such as the Dexterous Communications Test Satellite, Fengyun-3 C-stars and D-stars, Luojia-1 A-satellites and Balance-1 B-stars. It provides an important data source for improving the geometric tracking conditions of Beidou satellites, improving the accuracy of orbit determination, and the calibration of geometric errors such as antenna phase center.

In addition, the Beidou-3 satellite has a Ka-band inter-satellite link function, which can realize inter-satellite communication and ranging, and is used for precision orbit and clock difference estimation. The Beidou inter-satellite link adopts the time-division multiple access system for two-way ranging, and according to the time slot planning table pre-injected to the satellite on the ground, each satellite rotates and builds a chain with other visible satellites (or ground anchoring stations). A pair of chain-building satellites transmit measurement signals sequentially in a time slot (3s) to complete a inter-satellite measurement, of which the forward measurement is completed within the first 1.5 s and the reverse measurement is completed within the second 1.5 s. In each 3s time slot, there will be multiple pairs of satellites simultaneously chained, so that interstellar ranging can cover the entire constellation in a short period of time. In addition, the time slot planning table is also updated over a period of time (e.g. 1 hour) based on the visibility of the satellite, thus forming a dynamic link (Xie, 2019). Bidirectional one-way ranging observations can be normalized to one-way, distance-independent or clock-difference-independent observations for precision clock difference estimation and orbit determination.

III geometric observation model

Attitude description of the solid in-orbit orientation of satellite stars has a significant impact on geometric errors such as antenna phase center and phase winding, as well as non-conservative force modeling such as light pressure. The Beidou-2 and Geo satellites adopt a zero-offset attitude (yaw angle is 0°); the Beidou-2 IGSO and MEO satellites adopt a dynamic bias attitude control mode similar to other navigation satellites (yaw attitude dynamically changes with the satellite position), and when the absolute value of the sun's inclination relative to the satellite orbital surface (β angle) is less than 4°, it adopts a zero-bias attitude. Many scholars at home and abroad have carried out a lot of research on the attitude conversion conditions of Beidou-2 IGSO and MEO satellites (Guo et al., 2014; Dai et al.,2015; Li et al., 2018)。 Due to the significant reduction in orbital accuracy of the Beidou-2 IGSO and MEO satellites during the zero-bias period and during the transition of the dynamic zero attitude mode, some Beidou-2 and Beidou-3 IGSO and MEO satellites have adopted a continuous dynamic deviation mode. For the Five Houses Satellite, Dilssner (2017) and Wang et al. (2018) has successively built a corresponding attitude control model. For the small satellite MEO satellite, Yang et al. (2021) The study shows that its yaw attitude basically follows the model given in the "Beidou/Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Satellite High-Precision Application Parameters Definition and Description", that is, the yaw attitude at β=3° is used when the β angle is (0, 3°], and the yaw attitude is adopted at β=3° when the β angle is [-3°, 0].< However, when the Sun passes through the orbital plane, that is, β angle symbol changes, there is a delay in attitude switching, resulting in a reverse adjustment of the maneuver at noon or midnight.

Other geometric error studies mainly focus on the systematic error of the Beidou satellite end related to the height angle, the systematic deviation between the Beidou 2 and 3 satellites, and the code and phase observation deviation. Wanninger and Beer (2015) first reported the existence of systematic errors related to altitude angles at the Beidou-2 IGSO and MEO satellites, and constructed corresponding models to correct them, while Beidou-3 significantly eliminated the relevant errors. Recently, more studies have revealed that there is a deviation between the beidou-2 and no. 3 overlapping frequency point signals (such as Mi et al., 2021), which will have a fixed degree of fuzziness, etc., so the Beidou-2 and No. 3 satellites should be regarded as independent systems when processing data.

In addition to the above L-band observation errors, there are also significant systematic errors in the Beidou inter-satellite link observations. The bidirectional inter-satellite link observations are normalized to unidirectional geometry-independent observations for use in clock difference estimation, and the corresponding closure difference is obtained by summing the geometrically independent observations of more than three satellites. The variation of the closure difference between different satellites, such as C20-C21-C41, C28-C30-C44, C21-C28-C29, and C20-C25-C45, is shown in Figure 4. Theoretically, the above geometrically independent observation closure difference, on the basis of eliminating orbital error, further eliminates receiver clock difference and interstellar link transceiver channel delay, which should show white noise characteristics. However, in addition to C20-C21-C41 in the figure, the closure difference of other satellite groups shows systematic error characteristics such as deviation and periodicity, which will affect the inter-satellite link data processing. In addition, it was found that there is a link-dependent constant deviation in the residuals of inter-satellite link observations (Figure 5) (Xieet al., 2019), which can be eliminated by directly estimating the transceiver channel delay associated with the continuous correlation. The above systematic sources of error still need to be further identified and studied.

IV orbital dynamics model

Sunlight pressure is the core factor affecting the accuracy of beidou satellite orbit determination. Due to the fact that the satellite is stationary relative to the ground station and the geometric observation conditions change is small, the orbit determination accuracy of the Beidou GEO satellite is in the meter level. By constructing a presocience pressure model to account for the impact of GEO satellite communication antennas, Wang et al. (2019) increases its radial orbit accuracy to 10 cm. For the Beidou-2 IGSO and MEO satellites, due to the lack of yaw attitude models suitable for zero deviation, the accuracy of orbit determination during the zero deviation period is significantly reduced. Numerous studies at home and abroad have significantly improved the accuracy of orbit determination during zero-bias of Beidou IGSO and MEO satellites by constructing analytical models or empirical models suitable for zero-bias mode (Wang et al., 2013; Guo et al., 2014; Montenbrucket al., 2017b)。 For the Beidou-3 MEO satellite, when the ECOM1 photodynamic model is directly used for precision orbit determination, its radial orbit error shows a systematic error related to the solar spoke angle (sun-Earth-satellite angle) (Figure 6). Due to the different tensile directions of the cuboids, the orbital error characteristics of the five houses and small satellites show opposite changes. Such errors can be significantly attenuated or eliminated by using methods such as ECOM2 or a priori box wing models (Wang et al., 2019; Yan et al., 2019a; Li etal., 2020; Duan et al., 2021)。

Figure 6 Residuals of Beidou SLR observations based on the Star-Earth L-band and ECOM1 models.

In addition to light pressure, antenna thrust, Earth reflection radiation and thermal radiation have a systematic impact on the orbit of Beidou satellites. The antenna thrust is the reaction force generated by the external transmission of the satellite, and its size is related to the signal transmitted power and quality. Steigenberger et. al. (2018) and Steigenberger & Thoelert (2020) measured the signal power of the Beidou-2 and 3 satellites, respectively. This causes the Beidou-2 IGSO and MEO, as well as the Beidou-3 5th Academy and the small satellite MEO to produce a deviation of about 28, 5, 16 and 19 mm in the radial orbit. Correspondingly, the Earth's reflective radiation will cause deviations of about 25, 20, 15 and 12 mm in the radial orbit of Beidou-2 IGSO and MEO, as well as Beidou-3 5 courtyards and small satellite MEO.

V precision orbit determination of Beidou satellites based on L-band and inter-satellite links

Beidou satellite precision orbit determination can use L-band or inter-satellite link observations. At present, IGS MGEX and iGMAS and their respective analysis centers provide beidou high-precision orbit and clock difference products based on L-band and comparison and synthesis results of products between different analysis centers. With the increase in the number of ground-based observation stations, the consistency and accuracy of products between different analysis centers are gradually improving. At present, the orbital consistency of the Beidou GEO satellites of different analysis centers is at the meter level, with IGSO being about 15 cm and MEO being about 7 cm (Steigenberger and Montenbruck, 2020). Laser ranging verification showed that the orbital error of Beidou-2 GEO, IGSO and MEO satellites was about 20, 5-7 and 3.5 cm (Sośnica et al., 2020). The orbital accuracy of the Beidou-3 satellite is raised from 3-4 cm or even about 2 cm in 2019 (Guo et al., 2021).

Figure 7 Residuals of Beidou SLR observations based on interstellar links and ECOM1 models.

For the Beidou-3 MEO satellite, the orbit determination accuracy similar to that of the global L-band observations can be obtained based on the inter-satellite link observations, but its orbital error shows characteristics that are inconsistent with the L-band. Figure 7 shows the residuals of the SLR observations of the Beidou C20 and C30 satellites based on the interstellar link observations and the ECOM1 model. Unlike Figure 6, the radial orbit error does not significantly show linear variations related to the solar spoke angle, mainly because the interstellar link observations have high estimatibility of the optical pressure parameters, especially the D0 parameters.

Effect of VI Beidou on the estimation of geodetic parameters

At present, the precision orbit determination research of Beidou satellite mainly focuses on the refinement of geometric and dynamic models, and lacks research on the estimation of geodetic parameters. Theoretically, the above parameter estimation should be independent of the GNSS system, however, studies have shown that the intersection year error exhibited in the geodetic parameter estimation sequence is related to the residual error of the satellite orbit dynamic model (e.g., the optical pressure model) and the composition of the GNSS satellite constellation (Zajdel et al., 2020, 2021; Scaramuzza et al., 2018)。 In addition, due to the correlation between parameters such as station coordinates, clock difference, and ambiguity, it is difficult for Beidou/GNSS to accurately determine the geocentric motion and frame scale (Rebischung et al., 2014a). Although the ground calibration value of the phase center of the Beidou system antenna has been announced, Qu et al. (2021) analysis shows that it differs from the Galileo ground calibration values by up to +1.854 ppb (part-per-billion) on a frame scale, so the construction of an independent scale based on Beidou or GNSS technology requires further study. With the disclosure of numerous low-orbit satellite data carrying satellite Beidou/GNSS receivers, it will be possible to construct independent scales. In addition, the ability and constraints of beidou inter-satellite link data for geodetic parameter estimation still need further analysis and research.

VII Follow-up research directions

This paper believes that the beidou precision orbit determination research can be further carried out in the following directions. First, on the basis of improving the metadata of the Beidou satellite, further combine the on-board Beidou tracking data of ground and low-orbit satellites to estimate the phase center deviation and change of all satellite antennas consistent with the IGS framework; second, further optimize the non-conservative force models such as light pressure and thermal radiation force to improve the accuracy of satellite orbit determination during eclipse satellites and zero deflection; third, analyze the error sources and elimination methods of the interstellar link system, and study the precision orbit determination of Beidou satellites under the constraint of clock difference model or interstellar link estimation clock difference; fourth, Investigate and analyze the influence and contribution of Beidou on the estimation of geodetic parameters such as geocentricity, scale and earth rotation parameters.
