摘要: The Constellation Observing System for Meteorology Ionosphere and. Climate (COSMIC) is a satellite mission the Earth sciences that will make use of recent developments in remote sensing, communications technology, and computing to solve some most important geo-scientific issues today. COSMIC plans launch eight Low Orbit (LEO) satellites 2003. Each these spacecraft carry three science payloads weather space research prediction, climate monitoring, geodesy: 1) GPS occultation receiver, 2) Tiny Ionospheric Photometer (TIP), 3) Triband Beacon transmitters (TBB). LEOs track as they are occulted behind limb retrieve up 500 daily profiles key ionospheric atmospheric properties. Every day constellation provide globally about 4000 soundings. TIP measure electron densities at peak F2 layer along track. TBB transmissions be received on ground high-resolution tomographic reconstruction density. continuos precise tracking all view, also promise benefit geodetic studies. system includes LEO satellites, data reception control stations, analysis centers networks. This paper gives overview describes system.
