Open-source Python-based GNSS software.

PyGNSSLab

PyGNSSLab is an open-source project focused on developing modular, Python-based GNSS tools and libraries. Our aim is to provide accurate, reliable, and extensible solutions for GNSS data processing — from basic RINEX handling to advanced PPP-AR techniques.

🔍 Key Features

• 🛰️ RINEX reading & conversion tools
• 📡 PPP and PPP-AR processing engines
• 🧪 Real-time GNSS data stream support
• 🧰 Modular structure for research & development
• 📦 Ready-to-use APIs and command-line tools

💡 Who is it for?

• Geodesists & Earth scientists
• Researchers working on GNSS positioning
• Developers creating custom GNSS pipelines
• Students learning GNSS with Python

📁 Modules

This organization hosts multiple standalone and integrated modules:

• RINEX2: A comprehensive parser for RINEX 2.x observation files, supporting:

  • Fast reading of observation data

  • Metadata extraction

  • Export to Parquet format for efficient storage

  • JSON metadata output

  • Example usage

  • Test output

• RINEX3: Modern RINEX 3.x file handler with features for:

  • Multi-GNSS observation data parsing

  • Complete metadata extraction

  • Parquet file conversion

  • Standardized JSON metadata output

  • Example usage

• Coming Soon:

  • SPP Capabilities
  • PPP/PPP-AR Processing Engine
  • Real-time Data Stream Handler
  • Troposphere & Ionosphere Models
  • Orbit & Clock Products Interface

🚀 Getting Started

Installation

Follow these steps to get PyGNSSLab set up on your local machine:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PyGNSSLab/pygnsslab.git
   cd pygnsslab
   

2. Create and activate a virtual environment (Recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   # On Windows
   .\venv\Scripts\activate
   # On macOS/Linux
   source venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Now you're ready to use the PyGNSSLab tools and libraries!
