SSTL leads GNSS reflectometry prototype
Tuesday, May 18. 2010
Development of a new instrument that could use satellite navigation signals to determine sea-surface roughness, ice characteristics, or soil moisture content has received a boost from the Centre for Earth Observation Instrumentation (CEOI). The SSTL-led team will continue the development in a CEOI funded project. The CEOI is an initiative to develop the next generation of Earth observation instruments, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and Technology Strategy Board (TSB).

The new project will continue the development of the instrument that exploits signals from the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) satellites that are reflected from land, ice and ocean.
