•!NSF and NASA has funded development of the GPS reflection technique; it is operational for a network of ~400 sites in the western United States.
•!Daily results: http://xenon.colorado.edu/portal . •!Can be extended world-wide. •!Next: GPS reflections on UAS platforms or from
satellites.
•!Measurements of soil moisture, vegetation water content, and snow depth (and snow water equivalent) are needed for climate studies and to predict/mitigate effects of drought/flooding.
•!Reflected GPS signals are sensitive to these environmental parameters. Existing GPS sites (installed by geoscientists and surveyors) can be used to simultaneously measure location, timing, and reflection quantities.

•! Over 8800 HDTV towers broadcast with enough power to be easily received at the Moon or beyond.
•! These signals may be converted into navigation data for spacecraft, from Earth orbit out to the Moon.
•! One tower is sufficient, but we can uniquely identify dozens of towers at any given time.
•! Objective of research: to demonstrate autonomous spacecraft navigation using these Signals of Opportunity (SoOps).
•! Working with Loctronix’s ASR-2300 radio, which can pick up any HDTV tower transmissions, GNSS, and even S-Band.
•! Demonstrating SoOps navigation on the ground. •! Preparing to demo SoOps on an aircraft (July). •! Preparing to demo SoOps on a high-altitude balloon. •! This work will support a 6U-cubesat mission to be
deployed on Orion’s EM-1 mission to the Moon in 2017.
