Adaptive Kalman filter boosts BDS-3 navigation accuracy in challenging environments

A new PPP strategy integrates a covariance-adaptive Kalman filter to compensate for sudden orbit and clock jumps, improving horizontal, vertical, and 3D accuracy. Tests show significant gains in accuracy, demonstrating the algorithm's ability to deliver robust sub-meter real-time positioning even in network-limited environments.

ExoClock counts down Ariel exoplanet targets

The ExoClock project, supported by European Space Agency's Ariel mission, has presented 450 candidate exoplanet target orbits and received contributions from 217 professional and amateur astronomers. Small telescopes can successfully observe most targets, highlighting the value of amateur community involvement in space research.
