Nový navigačný systém Galileo s viacerými novými frekvenciami a rôznymi trackovacými metódami, takisto aj modernizácia GPS vyžadujú modifikáciu nezávislého výmenného formátu na poskytovanie a šírenie nameraných údajov - RINEX.
Posledná verzia RINEX 2.11 umožňuje jednoduché pridanie GPS L2C (nový civilný signál - bude v nových GPS Block 2R ..tusim :)) observacii - aj pseudovzdialenosti aj fázové merania, ale bez možnosti charakterizova? observované veličiny detailnejšie (čo vyžadujú vysoko presné aplikácie v blízkej budúcnosti)
V posledných mesiacoch sa pracovalo na drafte úplne nového RINEXU - 3.00. Definícia nového formátu je prístupná tu:

unibe.ch (ftp)
alebo tu: unibe.ch (http)


Dalej sa mi uz nechce prekladat, takze featurky iba v anglictine :)

Major new features of Version 3.00 include:

- 3-character observation codes (including an attribute describing more precisely the generation mode of the observation)
- Improved observation data record format without record length limitation
- Inclusion of auxiliary information for antennae mounted on vehicles (e.g. spaceborne receivers) or antennae with non-standard orientation
- New pseudo-observations (ionosphere delay, receive channel numbers) for special applications

As the structure of the Galileo Navigation Message has not yet been released, it was not possible to define a RINEX navigation message file for Galileo at this time.

The GPS and GLONASS navigation message files have not been modified, so far. Proposals for modifications of the GPS nav mess files to account for new message items are welcome.

There are no implementation plans for RINEX Version 3.00 within IGS or other geodetic organizations yet, of course. The rather early definition of this new format was mainly driven by requests coming from the Galileo segment and by the expected time needed by software developers to introduce the new format into the data exchange, administration and processing programs.
