ESA HydroGNSS Mission Makes Initial Data Publicly Accessible

The European Space Agency's (ESA) HydroGNSS mission, developed by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), has released its first open-access data to global researchers. This marks the mission's transition from commissioning to scientific operations, allowing scientists to study Earth's water resources, including soil moisture, flooding, and biomass, by utilizing reflected GPS and Galileo signals. This data will support critical environmental monitoring and research.
