CubeSat platform to obtain accurate measurements of sea surface height.

该项目的目标是利用CubeSat平台以比传统测高卫星更短的重访时间获得海面高度(SSH)和其他相关数据的准确测量，同时降低复杂性和相关成本。立方体卫星的目的是使用全球导航卫星系统反射仪(GNSS-R)收集海洋地形，测量精度优于5厘米。这项研究将分两个阶段进行：致力于优化任务配置的任务分析，特别关注星座设计方面，第二阶段有效载荷和客车设计和优化，重点是CubeSat客车内的有效载荷设计、实施和集成。

This project is aiming to use CubeSat platform to obtain accurate measurements of sea-surface height (SSH) and other related data with a shorter revisit time than conventional altimetry satellites while decreasing the complexity and associated costs. The CubeSats are intended to use the global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) to collect ocean topography with a measurement accuracy of better than 5cm. The study will be conducted in two phases: mission analysis dedicated to the optimization of the mission configuration, with particular attention on the constellation design aspect, second phase payload and bus design and optimization, were the attention is focused on the payload design, implementation and integration inside a CubeSat bus.
