SVN-23/PRN-23INTEGRITY FAILUREOF01 JANUARY 2004

OUTLINE
  • Note on Nomenclature
  • Message to Remember
  • The SVN-23/PRN-23 Integrity Failure
  • The Range of User Impacts
  • Recommended Preventative
  • Summary

A NOTE ON NOMENCLATURE
  • SVN-23 is the "Space Vehicle Number"
  • The production line number
  • Permanently "painted on the satellite's inside"
  • Users have no independent way to see the SVN
  • PRN-23 is the "PseudoRandom Noise code" (PRN)
    Number
  • Identifies P(Y)-code C/A-code broadcast by SV
  • Users can independently see the SV's PRN codes
  • Also where SV shows up in the almanac data
  • Known as the "SV ID" number in ICD-GPS-200
  • SVN-23 was Broadcasting as PRN-23 on 01 Jan 04
  • A GPS SV's PRN number is ground selectable

PRN-23 Anomaly Timeline
  • SVN-23 Suffered an Integrity Failure on 01 Jan 04
  • Operating on a Rubidium clock
  • Clock failed at about 1830Z (Holiday Afternoon)
  • Clock failure caused a substantial frequency
    error
  • Varied over time, max sustained error was 371 Hz
    at L1
  • 371 Hz at L1 gives an 70.6 m/sec pseudorange rate
    error
  • An integrity failure because no timely warning
    issued
  • The Operational Control Segment (OCS) Set SVN-23
    Unhealthy at
  • about 2118Z
  • Accumulated pseudorange error was about 285,000 m
  • No SATZAP procedure performed
  • SATZAP changes identity of the SV's PRN code
  • SVN-23 remained trackable as PRN-23

SVN-23 RECOVERY
  • SVN-23 Clock Switched Off at 2305Z on 1 Jan 04
  • One Cesium clock remained on-board (marginal)
  • SVN-23 Service Restored
  • Set HEALTHY at 2253Z on 20 Jan 04
  • SVN-23 End-of-Life (PRN23 available for IIR-12)
  • Set DEAD at 2030Z on 5 Feb 04
  • Decommissioned (unavailable to users) at 2200Z on
    13 Feb 04

CONTEXT
  • This is the First Major Integrity Failure Since
    2001
  • Integrity failures are rare (!)
  • For Aviation, Integrity Requirement is 1-10-7/hr
  • Or 1 integrity failure per 1,142 years
  • Obviously, SVs will Never meet the Aviation
  • Integrity Requirement Alone
  • Would need a 1,000-fold improvement
  • Integrity Failure Rate for GPS SVs is ?3 per year
  • Specified in SPS Performance Standard
  • Specified in PPS Performance Standard

12
GOOD NEWS
  • IIR/IIR-M Satellites Don't Have This Failure Mode
  • It has been fixed (!)
  • Run two clocks concurrently
  • Atomic (Rubidium)
  • VCXO (Quartz)
  • Monitor short-term difference between the clocks
  • If difference greater than a threshold (5 m)
  • Immediately switch to non-standard code
  • IIR/IIR-M Satellites thus Provide Integrity
  • 1,000-fold improvement for large errors
