Satellite-borne remote sensing: Using Space GPS/GNSS receiver for reflectometry

This paper is a review on Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd´s developments in Space GNSS receivers. Hardware implementations of the UK-DMC as well as the imminent flying SGR-ReSI are briefly summarised. Past sets of data obtained by the disaster monitoring satellite, UK-DMC, are re-processed in order to acquire for Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) signals present at the time data was taken. A coverage analysis is also implemented using Satellite Tool Kit (STK), indicating the importance of tracking SBAS signals as an addition to the classic GPS signals. Some of the results of the SBAS acquisitions are presented in this paper.
