Combined GPS Broadcast Ephemeris Data (30-second sampling, hourly files) from NASA CDDIS

Published by CDDIS | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: May 26, 2026 at 06:15 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 18, 2026
This dataset consists of ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Combined Broadcast Ephemeris Data (hourly files of all distinct navigation messages received in one day) from the NASA Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS). GNSS provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. GNSS data sets from ground receivers at the CDDIS consist primarily of the data from the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS). Since 2011, the CDDIS GNSS archive includes data from other GNSS (Europe’s Galileo, China’s Beidou, Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System/QZSS, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System/IRNSS, and worldwide Satellite Based Augmentation Systems/SBASs), which are similar to the U.S. GPS in terms of the satellite constellation, orbits, and signal structure. The hourly GNSS broadcast ephemeris files contain one day of mixed GNSS navigation (30-second sampling) data in RINEX format from a global permanent network of ground-based receivers, one file per site. More information about these data is available on the Earthdata website at https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/space-geodesy-techniques/gnss/hourly-30-second-data-product.
