The Galileo satellites metadata are information about the satellite properties which need to be known in order to properly implement advanced processing algorithms for precise orbit determination or Precise Point Positioning (PPP). These include physical characteristics such as mass, area or reflectivity, the attitude law and antenna parameters such as phase center offsets and variations. More information about PPP and GNSS data processing can be found in [3], [4] or [2]. For Galileo SIS details, please refer to [1].

Work in progress, fixing old Kai Borre Matlab code to run in Octave and hence be callable by Python to work with RINEX data
Working on updating the code to run in modern Matlab and Octave for use with oct2py in calling from Python.
Currently the functions easy3.m easy4.m easy5.m run in Octave and Matlab, reading the default included files.

The uBlox LEA-6T supports precision GPS timing for demanding positioning applications such as basestations. It features a time mode function whereby the GPS receiver assumes a stationary 3D position, whether programmed manually or determined by an initial self-survey. Stationary operation enables GPS timing with only one visible satellite and eliminates timing errors which otherwise result in positioning errors. An accuracy of up to 15 ns is achievable by using the quantization error information to compensate the granularity of the time pulse. A built-in time mark and counter unit provide precise time measurement of external event inputs

MTKBabel is a Perl program to operate the i-Blue 747 GPS data logger. It should work also with other GPS devices based on the MediaTek MTK chipset. Starting with version 0.7 it offers also support for the Holux M-241 data logger. It is free software released under the GPL license.
