# SpatialLightHouse

SpatialLightHouse has three main purposes: 

* **Configure the reference station.** \
  SpatialLightHouse supports a wide variety of reference stations as well as various network topology configurations.
* **Retrieve and process data from the reference station.** \
  If you want to post-process the rover’s trajectory, data from the reference station is needed in the form of raw observations. Raw observations are all the measurements recorded by the reference station.
* **Forward differential corrections** \
  Differential corrections are satellite errors derived from raw observations that were obtained from the reference station and will be forwarded to the rover. This method requires a fixed GNSS receiver (reference station). The rover can then apply these errors to its own measurements using a technique known as Real-Time Kinematic. RTK allows the rover to solve its own position in real-time to within centimeter-level accuracy.

SpatialLightHouse’s features include:

* Optional tool to configure reference stations
* Retrieves and processes data from reference station
* Streams real-time corrections for RTK trajectories and in-flight QA/QC
* Logs raw observations for post-processing
* Supports NTRIP
* Leica and CHC reference stations can be setup to send corrections directly to rover via UHF/3G/4G

{% hint style="success" %}
**If you want to add differential corrections to your raw observations, SpatialLightHouse can be used. However, post processing your trajectory (PPK) eliminates the need to add this complexity in real-time.**
