Technology Demonstration of Soil Moisture Monitoring with Reflected GNSS Signals — The Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technique provides insight on certain surface conditions. Making use of freely-available GNSS signal reflections over land for remote sensing would represent a significant step forward. This project aims to develop a prototype GNSS-R receiver capable of making customizable surface reflection measurements from space to measure surface soil moisture content and variation, using signals from the many GNSS satellites currently in orbit.
