Kinematic: Tick this box to indicate that kinematic GNSS data is being processed. This enables new features on the GUI and is important for several checks and computing steps during processing.
Define the offset between the desired reference point and the location of the GNSS antenna (and its ARP). This correction is similar to the offsets defined in the header of the RINEX observation file These values are not used in kinematic processing. This option should only be used, for example, if the GNSS antenna is mounted on the side of a vehicle and the results should refer to the centre of the vehicle. Please note that the three coordinates should be defined so that they form a vector pointing from the desired reference point to the actual location of the GNSS antenna. Furthermore, their definition is related to the selected orientation mode.
along-track (forward): Offset in direction of the movement.
out-of-plane (left): Offset orthogonal to along-track and vertical/radial direction.
vertical/radial: Offset in vertical or radial direction.

During kinematic data processing, raPPPid applies a specific orientation mode, for example, for modeling specific error sources. Users can select an orientation mode from the available options. Please note that the defined offsets are closely related to this orientation mode.
vertical: The first axis is in the direction of movement, the third axis is vertical, and the second axis is orthogonal to the direction of movement (i.e. to the left of the direction of movement).
radial: The first axis is in the direction of movement, the third axis is in radial direction (i.e. pointing away from Earth center), and the second axis is orthogonal to the direction of movement (i.e. to the left of the direction of movement).
yaw-steering: not implemented. The first axis completes the system (i.e. along the solar panel), the third axis is vertical, and the second axis is orthogonal to the direction of movement (i.e. to the left of the direction of movement).
Earth-pointing: not implemented.
ORBEX: not implemented. Quaternions are used for calculating the orientation.
Enable this option if your GNSS receiver is placed on a satellite (e.g., LEO satellite) to improve the PPP solution using dynamic models for position and velocity estimation. You will need to define the mass [kg], area [m²], drag coefficient [] and solar coefficient [] of the satellite.
