The key improvement is support for multi-GNSS. By replacing the PAGES engine with M-PAGES<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>, OPUS-S 5.0 (Beta) is capable of processing static baselines with data from multiple constellations via the submission of RINEX v3.xx files (with slightly limited functionality for RINEX v2.xx submissions). Another significant improvement is the inclusion of a new, daily CORS-quality metric in the algorithm used to select base stations. Summary of new features: * support for multi-GNSS (M-PAGES replaces PAGES) * enhanced CORS-selection algorithm * enhanced best 3-of-5 baselines algorithm * direct support for RINEX v3 * new summary header in solution report [Screenshot of beta OPUS-S page with new multi-GNSS updates.] Users now have the option to include data from multiple constellations, which can improve position quality. ________________________________ NGS Welcomes Your Feedback <mailto:NGS.feedback@noaa.gov>[Tell us what you think]<mailto:NGS.feedback@noaa.gov><mailto:NGS.feedback@noaa.gov> To help ensure that we are meeting your needs, please give this new tool a try and let us know what you think.

GCAP announcements
by Parrish, Christopher 07 Nov '23

07 Nov '23

Hi GCAP, First, a warm welcome our new GCAP Project Manager, Jenna Borberg! Jenna - we are so glad to have you on the team and look forward to working with you! As another quick update, the designated NGS Subject Matter Expert (SME) for each of our 8 tasks may be announced this week. I would strongly encourage all Task Leads (Brian, Charles and DJ, Chase, Jihye, and Caixia) to meet with your Task Team NLT next Wed, Nov 15 to get organized before meeting with the NGS SME. In the meeting, I recommend that each Task Team draft an action plan for the year to then present to and discuss with the SME. The SME may suggest modifications, but it is up to the teams to develop and implement their plans. The meetings with the SMEs will depend on their schedules, but ideally each Task Team will be able to meet with the SME within 1-2 weeks. The WhenIsGood poll that we completed last week was somewhat inconclusive in identifying meeting times. Therefore, Jenna will be reaching out again regarding scheduling. Please respond, so that we can get these initial meetings set up! Thanks, -Chris -- Christopher Parrish, PhD, CP, CMS (he/him) Director, Geospatial Center for the Arctic and Pacific (GCAP) Professor and Jim and Billie Plasker Faculty Scholar in Geomatics Oregon State University Ph: 541-737-5688
