Abstract
Dedicated DORIS data analysis software is sparse and usually not open source. In this work, we address the architecture and implementation details of an ongoing effort to develop an open-source DORIS processing software, which provides a common platform for DORIS data analysis for scientific applications, testing of algorithms and educational purposes.The software aims at providing high quality estimates for parameters of geodetic interest, including precise orbit determination (POD), starting with a limited number of DORIS equipped satellites. It is designed in a multi-library, modular fashion, allowing easy expansion and adoption of enhancements. The core and computationally intense parts are implemented using the C++ programming language (standards C++17 and later), while a python utility module will act as a shell, handling user-interaction and operations of low resource demands.DORIS RINEX v3.0 will act as the fundamental data file format, thus exploiting all modernized features of the system, including multi-channel pseudorange and carrier-phase observations, as well as the more traditional Doppler count approach.
IDS and IERS recommendations and standards are followed, to produce high-quality estimates. The software will be free and open source when completed thus supporting the DORIS community.In this study, the framework that provides the processing blocks will be presented and preliminary results will be shown.
