NASA-developed Technology Supports Ocean Wind Speed Measurements from Commercial Satellite

NASA-developed Technology Supports Ocean Wind Speed Measurements from Commercial Satellite- A science antenna developed with support from NASA's Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO) is now in low-Earth orbit aboard MuSat2, a commercial remote-sensing satellite flown by the aerospace company Muon Space. The dual-frequency science antenna was originally developed as part of the Next Generation GNSS Bistatic Radar Instrument (NGRx). Aboard MuSat2, it will help measure ocean surface wind speed—an essential data point for scientists trying to forecast how severe a burgeoning hurrica…Read the full story at https://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=329529
