SP3
SP3 Precise GNSS Orbit files parser.
SP3 is specifid by IGS.
The parser only supports Revisions C & D at the moment and rejects revisions A & B.
Getting started
Add "sp3" to you cargo file
[dependencies]
sp3 = "1"
Parse an SP3 file

use std::str::FromStr;
let path = PathBuf::new()
.join(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"))
.join("data")
.join("ESA0OPSRAP_20232390000_01D_15M_ORB.SP3.gz");
let sp3 = SP3::from_file(&path.to_string_lossy());

// browse SV positions
for (epoch, sv, (x, y, z)) in sp3.sv_position() {

File Merge
Merge files together, for example to create a context spanning 48 hours
let folder = PathBuf::new()
.join(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"))
.join("data");
let sp3_a = folder.clone()
.join("ESA0OPSRAP_20232390000_01D_15M_ORB.SP3.gz");
let sp3_b = folder.clone()
.join("ESA0OPSULT_20232320600_02D_15M_ORB.SP3.gz");
let sp3 = SP3::from_file(&sp3_a.to_string_lossy())
.unwrap();
let sp3_b = SP3::from_file(&sp3_b.to_string_lossy())
.unwrap();
let sp3 = sp3_a.merge(sp3_b);
assert!(sp3.is_ok());
Position Vector Interpolation
Interpolate SV position at desired Epoch.
In order to preserve the high (+/- 1mm precision) for SP3 datasets, we recommend using at least an interpolation order of 9 for typical SP3 files with 15' epoch intervals.
The current implementation restricts the interpolatable Epochs at [tmin, tmax] = [(N +1)/2 * τ, T(n-1) - (N +1)/2 * τ], both included, where N is the interpolation order, τ the epoch interval, and T(n-1) the last Epoch in this file.
