[IGSMAIL-7832] Announcement CODE IGS RAPID/ULTRA products including Galileo

[CODE AC team]

Author: CODE AC team

Dear colleagues

CODE has extended from today on its rapid and ultra-rapid solutions from 
a two system to a three system processing: GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. 
This includes also the clock corrections (with fixed ambiguities for GPS 
and Galileo).

Galileo has reached its full constellation in early 2019 and was up to 
now only included in our Multi-GNSS Extension (MGEX) product line. With 
the inclusion of Galileo in our rapid and ultra-rapid products, we are 
able to provide Galileo orbit predictions to the real-time community 
(requested during the IGS Workshop 2018, Wuhan).

Our IGS Final processing line will remain a GPS and GLONASS only 
solution because it is part of the ITRF2014. The final process scheme 
will be updated in context with the next ITRF solution.

Technical remarks:

- Our rapid and ultra-rapid products rely on the official IGS14 ANTEX 
file (available at ftp://ftp.igs.org/pub/station/general/igs14.atx)

- Availability of the products: rapid and ultra-rapid solutions from the 
individual ACs are not distributed by the IGS. They are available from 
our FTP-server:
   - http://ftp.aiub.unibe.ch/CODE/COD_U.EPH|ERP for ultra-rapids and
   - http://ftp.aiub.unibe.ch/CODE/2019_M/ for rapids
