Galileo positioning - a first

 
The Nottingham Geospatial Institute has successfully computed their first positioning solution using just the four Galileo IOV satellites. The data were recorded during the MSc field courses at the Hayes Conference Centre in Derbyshire, using a Javad Triumph-1 receiver connected to a Leica AR10 antenna. E1 and E5a data were recorded for about 26 minutes today (26th March) between 11:56 and 12:22. The plot shows the scatter of the solutions, and clearly shows the initial convergence period and the final drift as the DOP degraded towards the end of the short observational window.
