Sensing the ionosphere with the Spire radio occultation constellation
Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2021 Radio occultation (RO) provides a cost-effective component of the overall sensor mix required to characterise the ionosphere over wide areas and in areas where it is not possible to deploy ground sensors. The paper describes the RO constellation that has

Optical and Radio Occultation Analysis [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1971 The study of occultations of radio sources by the Moon has proved a powerful method of studying the structure of radio sources with a resolution limit, in some cases, as small as 0″.1 and at the same time of obtaining positions of the radio components with an accuracy of the order of 0″.1 to 1″.
