PPK Workflow with Emlid Reach RS3 and Emlid Studio

PPK Workflow with Emlid Reach RS3 and Emlid Studio — practical guide for drone mapping pros.

  1. Set up the Reach RS3 over a known or NTRIP-fixed point; record antenna height.

  2. Log raw data (RINEX) for the whole flight window, starting before takeoff.

  3. Export the drone's raw GNSS/rover logs.

  4. In Emlid Studio, use Drone data processing: load base RINEX, rover obs, navigation file and the photo/event log.

  5. Enter the base coordinates manually (the RINEX header APPROX POSITION is only a standalone fix).

  6. If processing fails, check GLONASS frequency entries in the RINEX header and try excluding GLONASS.

  7. No local base? Download nearby NOAA CORS data (often 30 s interval) as a fallback.
