Introduction • Internship is based in Galileo science service centre in ESAC, Madrid (GSSC ) • There are 8 people working for GSSC. Lead by Dr Javier Ventura • Main supervisor is Vicente Navarro and with 3 other sub supervisors who help for this project. • Weekly meeting on the progress of the project. 3 © Cranfield University 2018

Introduction • In May 2016 google announces the availability of GNSS raw measurements from android 7 • Opens doors to develop many advanced GNSS processing technique. Where developers can introduced external corrections • Application – augmentation reality, location-bases advertising, mobile health and management etc. How to access the raw measurements • Until Android API 23, this was limited to the data namely: GPS satellite information (C/No, azimuth, elevation, NMEA sentences and PVT solution with the proper time stamp. 4 © Cranfield University 2018

Objectives • Develop a python bases software to extract the raw measurements for post processing • Investigate on the quality of android smartphones GNSS measurements by comparing to the IGS receiver at ESAC. • Compute the PVT by pseudorange which is compute from raw measurements • If time allows possibly apply ionosphere (+and troposphere) corrections to get more accurate data • Give access to the public to record there own data and to analysis with the software develop. ( crowdsourcing) • To investigate possible other application of the raw data. • With the research write the master thesis. 7 © Cranfield University 2018
