We demonstrate the ability of the NASA Global Differential GPS System to support 10 to 20 cm accurate real-time airplane positioning, anywhere in the world, independent of local navigational aids or infrastructure.
This paper will present Jason-1 POD results obtained at JPL using the Gipsy-Oasis I1 (GOA). Results from standard tests (orbit overlaps, Laser control points) suggest that 1 to 2 cm radial orbit precision is already being achieved using the JPL reduced-dynamic filter approach. New DORIS POD strategies will be an emphasis of this paper.

Observables from a global network of 18 GPS receivers are returned in real-time to JPL over the open Internet. 30 - 40 cm RSS global GPS orbits and precise dual-frequency GPS clocks are computed in real-time with JPL's Real Time Gipsy (RTG) software.
Using a network of 15 global GPS receivers, GPS data is returning to JPL via the open Internet to determine the orbits and clocks of the GPS constellation in real-time.
Wide Area Diffential GPS (WADGPS) positioning is performed in real-time during NASA's DC-8 AirSAR flights.

Radar altimeter missions require precise estimates of the satellite radial orbit position in order to support measurement of surface heights.
In February 1998 Student Nitric Oxide Explorer (SNOE) was successfully launched and began scientific observations.
In this paper, we describe some recent advances in GPS-based precise orbit determination for low-Earth orbiting satellites.
