Remote sensing at the NASA Kennedy Space Center: a perspective from the ground up

Radio Refractive Index of Wet Atmosphere Estimated From Site Test Interferometer Data

“…These instruments have been deployed at the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) tracking sites of Goldstone (California), Madrid (Spain), and Canberra (Australia) to assess the prospect of these sites for arraying applications to allow for increased performance. A STI was also deployed at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida to provide atmospheric characterization originally for the KABOOM experiment (Geldzahler et al, 2014;Huddleston et al, 2014). Morabito (2019) summarizes the phase delay statistics extracted from all four STIs as well as providing a bibliography (up to the end of 2018) of studies that made use of these statistics.…”
