Metop Instruments Eumetsat The gras instrument has been developed by the instrument prime contractor saab ericsson space in sweden, supported by austrian aerospace (a), sener (e) and gmv (e) under contract to esa eumetsat. gras will fly on metop a, b and c. Gnss receiver for atmospheric sounding | purpose: atmospheric temperature humidity sounding with highest vertical resolution. also ionospheric total electron content along slant path.
Metop Instruments Eumetsat The gras instrument on the metop a satellite provides more than 600 radio occultation measurement profiles per day. the instrument is characterized by its wide antenna coverage, high signal to noise ratio and an ultra stable clock reference. The instrument is hosted on all satellites in the metop second generation (metop sg) series for polar orbit operation. the gras 2 instruments provide occultation measurements from the galileo, gps, and beidou satellites at their common frequencies centred at 1575.42 mhz (l1) and 1176.45 mhz (l5). One of the instruments on board of metop a is gras (gnss (global navigation satellite system) receiver for atmospheric sounding), a radio occultation instrument specifically designed for this task. Beyond gravity is a pioneer in radio occultation (ro) technology, with our first generation gras instrument on the metop satellites demonstrating outstanding performance and reliability since 2006.
Metop Sg Instruments Eumetsat One of the instruments on board of metop a is gras (gnss (global navigation satellite system) receiver for atmospheric sounding), a radio occultation instrument specifically designed for this task.

Gps radio occultation with gras. the gps receiver for atmospheric sounding (gras) provides more than 600 daily atmospheric profiles measured by gps radio occultation, which are globally distributed. in addition gras provides navigation solutions of the metop satellite along its orbit. The study confirms that the gnss topside and ro observations recorded by the gras instrument onboard metop satellites are of good quality and are a valuable source of data for ionospheric research. Eumetsat launched the meteorological satellite metop a in october 2006; it is the first of the three satellites that constitute the eumetsat polar system (eps) space segment. this satellite carries a challenging and innovative instrument, the gnss receiver for atmospheric sounding (gras).
