GeoOptics, Inc.:
Platforms > Space-based Platforms > Earth Observation Satellites > CICERO > Community Initiative for Cellular Earth Remote Observation

GeoOptics, Inc. is a commercial vendor that operates the Community Initiative for Cellular Earth Remote Observation (CICERO) constellation of low-earth-orbiting (LEO) 6U CubeSats. As opposed to previous early high-end GNSS receivers, the CICERO CubeSat carries relatively low-cost, low-power, and low-mass receivers called CIONs. These Radio Occultation (RO) sensors are able to obtain many atmospheric profiles per day which can help improve weather forecasting and be applied to various other remote sensing studies.

PlanetiQ, Inc.:
Platforms > Space-based Platforms > Earth Observation Satellites > PlanetiQ GNOMES

PlanetiQ was founded to build, launch, and operate a commercial constellation of the highest quality HD GNSS-RO weather satellites, with a full constellation of 20 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. PlanetiQ’s GNSS Navigation and Occultation Measurement Satellites (GNOMES) carry the fourth-generation “Pyxis” radio occultation (RO) sensor which builds on the heritage of the gold standard for RO sensors. This state-of-the-art, next-generation RO sensor is smaller, lighter, and consumes less power than prior versions, but has nearly 3x the data collection capability since it receives signals from all four world-wide GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou).
