Genesis: One Satellite to Bring Four Geodetic Techniques Together

What if we brought all four major space-geodetic techniques together on a single spacecraft for the first time? ESA’s Genesis mission, expected to launch in 2028, will do just that, combining Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), DORIS and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) on one carefully calibrated platform. Well before launch, scientists are inve ...[Read More]
