Abstract
GPS applications such as Precise Point Positioning (PPP) require the availability of precise ephemeris at high rate. To support these applications, several institutions such as the International GNSS Service (IGS) have developed precise orbital service. Unfortunately, however, the data rate of such precise orbits is usually limited to 15 minutes. To overcome this problem, a number of orbital interpolation methods are proposed. This paper examines the performance of four interpolation methods for IGS precise GPS orbits, namely Lagrange, Newton Divided Difference, Cubic Spline and Trigonometric interpolation. In addition, the paper discusses a new approach, which utilizes the residuals between the broadcast and precise ephemeris to generate a high density precise ephemeris. It is shown that the new approach produces better results than previously reported orbital interpolation accuracy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
