ucar-cosmic


The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) is a non-profit research organization that serves and provides leadership to the atmospheric science and related communities through research, computing and observational facilities, and education programs that contribute to the betterment of life on Earth. UCAR manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and also consists of UCAR Community Programs (UCP) that includes the COSMIC Program. The COSMIC Program provides innovative and cost-effective remote sensing observations, data products, and data utilization support, focusing primarily on GNSS, to benefit scientific research, research to operations, operations, and education and training in the atmospheric and related sciences.




National Space Science Center,
CAS

nssc


National Space Science Center (NSSC), CAS is a key institute responsible for planning, developing, launching and operating China’s space science satellite missions. It has a long history of scientific and technical accumulation in satellite navigation and its application research area.
Particularly for the GNSS Navigation Occultation Sounder (GNOS) instrument, two GNOS instruments have been designed and developed by NSSC, and been launched onboard the FY-3C satellite in September 2013 and the FY-3D satellite in November 2017. A new instrument named GNOS II designed for the FY-3E satellite will provide a revolutionary innovation by combining the GNSS RO and GNSS-R techniques in one payload and by tracking GPS, BDS and Galileo signals.




EUMETSAT

eumetsat

EUMETSAT (European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) was founded in 1986. Its role is to establish and operate meteorological satellites to monitor the weather and climate from space - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This information is supplied to the National Meteorological Services of the organisation's Member and Cooperating States in Europe, as well as other users worldwide. EUMETSAT also operates several Copernicus missions on behalf of the European Commission and provides data services to the Copernicus marine and atmospheric services and their users.
As an intergovernmental European Organisation, EUMETSAT has 30 Member States (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.)
