GeoOptics, PlanetIQ, and Spire are providing GPS radio occultation data that measure the refraction of GPS signals to produce temperature and pressure profiles for weather forecasting models.
In September, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded more than $8,000,000 to GeoOptics, PlanetiQ, and Spire to provide GPS radio occultation data from current or planned constellations.
The launch included Cicero-10, a small satellite built by Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems for the weather satellite constellation company GeoOptics.
The It’s Business Time mission manifest includes a satellite built by Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems for weather satellite constellation company GeoOptics.
