  • Abstract
    This paper presents an overview of the activities currently being undertaken by the European Space Agency in the field of GNSS reflectometry. Furthermore, the salient features of Europe´s Galileo project with respect to the applicability of the signals for the purpose of GNSS-R are given. Furthermore, the prospects for the near future in terms of experiments and applications are given and finally there is a review of the potential for GNSS-R space missions.
