Under the National Oceanographic Partnership Program, GeoOptics is designing a radar instrument to observe ocean vector winds, topography, soil moisture, and other surface properties using patented multi-satellite radar techniques.
GeoOptics has developed a unique system architecture for daily gravity mapping with clusters of small satellites supported by internal investment and nearly $4,000,000 from NASA.
GeoOptics is collaborating with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to deploy an advanced operational GNSS-R system for CICERO-2.
GeoOptics is upgrading its CICERO constellation with CICERO-2 satellites to form a unified Earth observatory for monitoring climate change impacts.
GeoOptics' long-term goal is to launch about 50 CICERO-2 satellites over five years.
The collaboration on CICERO-2 GNSS-R development is jointly funded by GeoOptics, the U.S. Air Force, and NASA.
In 2020, NOAA selected GeoOptics to lead an end-to-end design study for NOAA’s next-generation low-orbiting weather satellite system planned to come online later this decade that builds in part on RO and GNSS-R technologies.
In February 2021, NOAA selected GeoOptics to provide the first commercial satellite data to be included in NOAA operational forecasts.
GeoOptics announced on 2021-07-29 that it will start launching a line of satellites called CICERO-2 beginning next year.
GeoOptics’ strategic partner Climavision will use CICERO-2 advanced RO profiles, GNSS-R surface-condition data, and proprietary gap-filling radar network data to enhance climate and weather prediction for customers.
Under the recent order, NOAA is directing GeoOptics to supply 1,300 daily radio occultation soundings from March to September.
In November 2020, NOAA awarded two-year indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contracts to GeoOptics and Spire Global with a combined ceiling of $23,000,000.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced plans on 19 February to dramatically expand the number of daily radio occultation soundings it acquires from commercial satellites operated by GeoOptics.
In November 2020, NOAA placed a first order directing GeoOptics and Spire Global to each provide 500 daily radio occultation soundings for 30 days.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced plans on 2021-02-19 to dramatically expand the number of daily radio occultation soundings it acquires from commercial satellites operated by GeoOptics.
Under the latest delivery order, NOAA is directing GeoOptics to supply 1,300 daily radio occultation soundings from March to September.
NOAA awarded two-year indefinite delivery–indefinite quantity contracts in November to GeoOptics and Spire Global with a combined ceiling of $23,000,000.
NOAA’s first delivery order directed GeoOptics and Spire Global each to provide 500 daily radio occultation soundings for 30 days.
A correction on 2021-02-19 noted that the latest NOAA delivery order calls for GeoOptics alone to supply 1,300 daily radio occultations.
NOAA awarded initial task orders to both GeoOptics and Spire Global on 2020-11-20, and the individual values of those orders remain undisclosed.
