Space System “Radiomet” for GLONASS/GPS Navigation Signal Radio Occultation Monitoring of Lower Atmosphere and Ionosphere Based on Super-Small Satellites

Abstract

Concept of new low-orbit system "Radiomet" is offered. This system is intended to global radio occultation monitoring and uses signals of radio navigation satellites passing through lower atmosphere and ionosphere. Authors of the concept Russian organizations FSUE "RISDE" and IRE RAS. "Radiomet", in comparison with existing system "Formosat-3" (COSMIC), should provide more than twice higher quantity of atmospheric parameters measurements per clay, higher speed of final data deliver and some other significant improvements.
