Muon Space operates a constellation of high-performance Global Navigation Satellite System–Reflectometry (GNSS-R) satellites. Its six satellite GNSS-R constellation provides GNSS-R data products to enable Earth science research and applications through use of its Level 1 delay Doppler maps (DDMs) and calibrated surface reflectivity and normalized bistatic radar cross section (NBRCS) observations. It also produces Level 2 retrievals of near surface (0–5 cm) soil moisture and ocean surface wind speed.
Muon’s GNSS-R measurements build on and expand the legacy of NASA’s Cyclone GNSS (CYGNSS) mission. Several satellites in the Muon constellation offer advances in measurement capabilities:
