Laser Terminals on CubeSats: Developments for Telecommunications and Quantum Links
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based laser communication is an emerging technology that is finding its way from research to industry. Compared to radio frequency (RF) systems, it has a more efficient size, weight, and power budget and, furthermore, is license free.

SWOT Water Surface Elevation in Herbaceous Wetlands of Florida's Everglades
Abstract Observing water level variations in wetlands is important for tracking global water and carbon cycles. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission was launched to measure Earth's surface waters, but its performance in vegetated wetlands was unknown.

Cosmic Rays and the Askaryan Effect Reveal Subsurface Structure and Buried Ice on the Moon
Abstract We present the first full‐wavelength numerical simulations of the electric field generated by cosmic ray impacts into the Moon. Billions of cosmic rays fall onto the Moon every year. Ultra‐high energy cosmic ray impacts produce secondary particle cascades within the regolith and subsequent coherent, wide‐bandwidth, linearly‐polarized radio ...

GNSS-Based Phase Synchronization for Bistatic and Multistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar [PDF]
The feasibility of single-pass interferometric or multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mission concepts largely relies on the ability to achieve the matching of the carrier phase of the different radar instruments of the constellations within a few degrees.

Microlocal aspects of bistatic synthetic aperture radar imaging
In this article, we analyze the microlocal properties of the linearized forward scattering operator $F$ and the reconstruction operator $F^{*}F$ appearing in bistatic synthetic aperture radar imaging. In our model, the radar source and detector travel along a line a fixed distance apart.
