From Mark.Caissy at NRCan-RNCan.gc.ca Tue Oct 26 08:21:40 2010 From: Mark.Caissy at NRCan-RNCan.gc.ca (Caissy, Mark) Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 11:21:40 -0400 Subject: [IGSMAIL-6290] IGS Real-time Working Group Supports Proposed RTCM State Space Messages (RTCM-SSR) Message-ID: <159FD28F03D76E468EE6650EB50072D00C83E61F@S0-OTT-X2.nrn.nrcan.gc.ca> Author: Mark Caissy Dear Colleagues, The RTCM SC 104 is now voting on proposed State Space Represenation (RTCM-SSR) messages. The voting deadline is November 3, 2010. The Real-time IGS is a strong supporter of the proposed messages and encourages all RTCM SC-104 members to vote to adopt these messages as an RTCM standard. Background Internationally adopted standards are important to the IGS's success. This is demonstrated by the IGS's current work within RTCM to develop a high precision GNSS data format and the IGS Real-time Pilot Project's adoption of the proposed RTCM-SSR messages with the expectation that they will become an RTCM standard. To increase the likelihood of their adoption, members of the pilot project have worked closely with GEO++ who, within RTCM, has sponsored and documented the RTCM-SSR suite of messages. Presently, within the IGS real-time pilot project analysis centres are generating RTCM-SSR formatted GNSS orbit and clock corrections and these individual analysis centre solutions are being combined into a prototype IGS real-time GNSS correction product. It is planned that in the near future a real-time IGS service will use the NTRIP protocol to deliver these GNSS corrections using the RTCM-SSR suite of messages. The Real-time IGS Working Group has a significant investment in the use of the RTCM-SSR messages and I encourage all RTCM members to vote before the November 3rd deadline to adopt these proposed messages as an RTCM standard for the delivery of GNSS State Spaced Correction messages.
