The GNSS rEflectometry, Radio Occultation and Scatterometry onboard the International Space Station (GEROS-ISS) is an innovative experiment for climate research, proposed in 2011 within a call of the European Space Agency (ESA) for installation at the ISS. This international proposal was the only one selected for further studies by ESA out of ∼25 submitted ones. In this work, an updated assessment...
This work presents the first Delay Doppler Maps (DDMs) obtained with the Microwave Interferometric Reflectometer (MIR) airborne instrument. MIR is a GNSS Reflectometer (GNSS-R) which uses the conventional (cGNSS-R) and interferometric (iGNSS-R) techniques for ocean and land observation. It computes real-time sample-to-sample complex DDMs with averaging and alignment, of up to 4 simultaneous GPS/Galileo...
The MIR (Microwave Interferometric Reflectometer) is a new dual frequency Global Navigation Satellite Systems Re-flectometry (GNSS-R) instrument that implements conventional and interferometric reflectometry, both with GPS and Galileo signals. This paper presents the instrument development progress, mainly in the control part, where a methodology to determine how much the platform attitude will affect...
This paper describes the Microwave Interferometric Reflectometer (MIR) instrument back-end for GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) applications. MIR uses the interferometric (iGNSS-R) and conventional (cGNSS-R) techniques for altimetry and scatterometric observations. MIR is intended for low altitude aircrafts, and can track up to 4 pairs of satellite/reflection points simultaneously. The back-end computes...
In the last years, the GPS signals have been validated as opportunity signals in a wide range of reflectometry-based remote sensing applications for sea, land or ice scenarios. Recently, the first Galileo satellites have started transmitting the new signal E1, which shares the band with the GPS L1 signal. This work compares the performance of both signals in space and airborne scenarios for sea state...
