gLAB is a software tool suite developed under an European Space Agency (ESA) Contract by the research group of Astronomy and Geomatics (gAGE) from the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC). gLAB is an interactive educational multipurpose package to process and analyse GNSS data.

gLAB performs precise modeling of GNSS observables (pseudorange and carrier phase) at the centimetre level, allowing both standalone GPS positioning and PPP. Every single error contributor may be assessed independently, which, in turn, provides a major educational benefit. gLAB is adapted to a variety of standard formats like RINEX-3.00, SP3, ANTEX and SINEX files, among others. Moreover, functionality is also included for GPS, Galileo and GLONASS, allowing performing some data analysis with real multi-constellation data.

The gLAB software tool is quite flexible, able to run under Linux and Windows operating systems and is provided free of charge by ESA Education Office to universities and GNSS professionals.

gLAB User Manual, Source Code and gLAB Data Processing Lab exercises can be found in the gLAB webpage

SBAS Sim.png

The SBAS Simulator has been developed as a result of a collaboration between ESA and IGUASSU Software Systems.

SBAS Simulator is a satellite based navigation systems simulation software. The main concept which led to the creation of the SBAS Simulator was to allow understanding and learning SBAS systems. Therefore, the tool is dedicated to everybody, from general to professional, with an interest in SBAS systems.

SBAS Simulator is a system volume simulator which allows providing performance based on simplified macro models for ECAC region. The performances over regions are only an approximation with no guarantee of the obtained results. With this understanding, the user can freely access the SBAS Simulator tool.

Please, visit the following the SBAS Simulator webpage for more information and a direct download.

SBAS Teacher.png

ESA in association with Iguassu software systems has developed a simple tool, aptly named the SBAS TeACHER (SBAS Tool for Education And Contributor to Harness EGNOS Research). Using this tool the different EGNOS SBAS messages can be decoded and encoded. A snapshot of the Tool is shown here.

More information and a direct download can be found in the SBAS TeACHER webpage.

ESA in association with Iguassu software systems has developed a simple tool, aptly named the SBAS MeNTOR (SBAS MEssage GENeraTOR). This tool is an evolution of the SBAS TeACHER and allows to create or decode a sequence of SBAS messages over a selected time period. While the SBAS TeACHER allows to encode or decode one SBAS message at a time, the SBAS MeNTOR can work with EMS like files for data over a selected time period. A snapshot of the Tool is shown here.

SBAS Sisnetlab.png

SISNeTlab is a new software tool that allows users to quickly and easily assess the performance of various SBAS systems. It gives the user a wide variety of functionalities and the graphs produced can help in comparing and better understanding the various SBAS systems.

The ESA SISNeTlab software has been developed by the European Space Agency Engineers, as a tool that could serve a wide user community of students, research scientists, Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and engineers involved in the development and exploitation of the various SBAS systems.
