The "REMARKS" section will note if any satellites were not included in the combined solution, due to too few analysis centers providing a solution. Any satellites which have no prediction provided due to a maneuver will also be listed.
Table 2 shows which satellites were eclipsing, the sp3 orbit accuracy code for each PRN, and whether any analysis centers did not provide a solution for any satellites.
This page is designed for humans to read, to check on how the latest UltraRapid analysis went. To obtain UltraRapid products for operational and/or automated use, please see the IGS product table.

COMBINATION STRATEGY:
---------------------
For a complete description of the combination strategy along with all tables
and statistics, please refer to the IGS Final Combination reports posted on
CDDIS within 13 days after the end of the GPS week.
PRODUCT FILES:
--------------
The Ultra Rapid Orbit files generated and uploaded into CDDIS @ NASA/GSFC are:
igu17234_06.sp3 IGU GPS ephemeris in SP3 format.
igu17234_06.erp Earth Rotation Parameters (ERP) and their rates as well as
Universal Time (UT1-UTC) and Length Of Day (LOD) associated
with IGS ephemerides.

REMARKS concerning the IGU Orbit Combination:
---------------------------------------------
1. The following centre clock solutions, which provide broadcast and/or
predicted broadcast clock corrections, were excluded from the combination
but kept in the combination statistics:
-> Broadcast Centre: GOU COU
The reference time scale is based on a linear alignment to the clocks
of a particular centre, which is normally pre-aligned to broadcast GPS
time. The reference centre is chosen from the following list, in order
of availability, and is indicated by 0 TOFT, 0 TDRFT, and non-zero RMS
in Table 1:
-> Reference Centre: EMU USU ESU GFU
Starting on 1-Jul-2009 (GPS Week 1538, day 3, hour 12; MJD 55013.5),
clock predictions are excluded for satellites set unhealthy due to MX
or UNUSUFN NANU events. The centre clock statistics in Table 1 do not
include the excluded satellites; however, these are included in the later
IGU center comparison statistics with the IGS Rapid clocks.
Starting 3-Feb-2012 (GPS Week 1673, day 5, hour 00; MJD 55959.0), a new
solution from Wuhan University (WHU) is included for comparison only. Starting
27-Feb-2012 (GPS Week 1677, day 1, hour 12; MJD 55984.5), a new solution
from NOAA/National Geodetic Survey (NGU) is included for comparison only.
Two changes were made to the IGU starting 8-Aug-2012 (GPS Week 1700, day 3,
hour 12; 56147.5). The WHU and NGU orbits are now included with full weight,
and any AC contribution with orbital frame rotations larger than 300 uas will
be excluded. This threshold is consistent with those used in the IGR rapid
combination.
2. The following orbit solutions were excluded from the combination because
they were biasing the weighted average. They were still used for statistics
computation unless all centres were excluded for the problem satellites in
which case they were simply eliminated from the combination and statistics.
The following table lists the exclusions:
Centre | PRN list
--------+---------------
COU | ALL (high Transformation - See Table 2)
GOU | 3
3. The following orbit solutions were excluded from the combination because
less than 3 ACs have submitted results for given satellite(s).
The following table lists the exclusions:
Centre | PRN list
--------+---------------
GOU | 27
4. Starting 5-Nov-2006 (GPS Week 1400, day 0, MJD 54044) until 16-Apr-2011
(GPS Week 1631, day 6, MJD 55667) all IGS products, including the IGS
combined orbits, are based on the IGS realization of the ITRF2005 reference
frame (IGS05). For more information see IGSMAIL #5447. The IGS05 frame is
also the basis for the homogeneously reprocessed IGS products from GPS Weeks
730 to 1459 (1994-2007); see IGSMAIL #6136.
Starting 17-Apr-2011 (GPS Week 1632, day 0, MJD 55668) all IGS products,
are based on the IGS realization of the ITRF2008 reference frame (IGS08).
For more information see IGSMAIL #6354.
Starting 07-Oct-2012 (GPS Week 1709, day 0, MJD 56207) all IGS products,
are based on the updated IGS08 frame (IGb08).
For more information see IGSMAIL #6663.
5. Starting 5-Nov-2006 (GPS Week 1400, day 0, MJD 54044) until 16-Apr-2011
(GPS Week 1631, day 6, MJD 55667) the absolute antenna model is introduced
(IGSMAIL #5438). The antenna phase center offsets and phase center variations
are given in the file:
ftp://igs.org/igscb/station/general/igs05.atx
These antenna calibrations are also used in the homogeneously reprocessed IGS
products from GPS Weeks 730 to 1459 (1994-2007); see IGSMAIL #6136.
Starting 17-Apr-2011 (GPS Week 1632, day 0, MJD 55668) the absolute antenna
model is updated (IGSMAIL #6255 & #6374) as given in the file:
ftp://igs.org/igscb/station/general/igs08.atx
Starting 07-Oct-2012 (GPS Week 1709, day 0, MJD 56207) the igs08.atx absolute
antenna model file gives updated (IGSMAIL #6662) values for the JPSREGANT_DD
and JPSREGANT_SD antennas, plus updates for GPS IIF transmit antennas. This
updated file should be used in conjunction with IGb08. Though, igs08.atx is
also still consistent with IGS08.
