I GPS Data Availability - Positions, Clock Readings etc.

AI Thread Summary
GPS data availability is a topic of interest, particularly regarding raw satellite data such as positions and clock readings. Users are seeking information on how to access this data for analysis and comparison with theoretical models like Kepler and Schwarzschild orbits. There is a suggestion that Google searches may not yield sufficient results, indicating a gap in accessible resources. A specific introductory resource on GPS observables is mentioned as helpful for newcomers. Overall, there is a need for clearer guidance on obtaining and utilizing GPS satellite data.

Hi there! Does anyone know where data from the GPS is available? Any data at all - positions. clock readings anything like that. Many thanks!

..GPS satellite data
 
##^{50}V\ ## reply is the kind I had in mind (but refrained from...). But MM deserves better: if only he/she gave us a bit more context: you want to look at the raw satellite data with some kind of receiver ? Or you want to know how it all works in detail ?

I'm inclined to ask: what did you NOT find with google ?

I'm looking for raw data for the GPS satellites. So, if for example I had data in regards to satellite positions I could plot the data. Then compare with numerical solutions of Kepler and Schwarzschild orbits. Along these kind of lines but by no means restricted to that.
Google hasn't revealed much in terms of actual data. I'm quite new to the GPS so I'm not entirely sure the data is even accessible.
 
I liked http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ecalais/teaching/geodesy/GPS_observables.pdf as intro. Gov is pretty old, but quite comprehensive.
