Truth Reveal: Old GPS Signals Are Measuring Hurricanes

Ajouté : 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]Truth reveal. Some satellites do not need cameras to map storms or soil moisture. They listen for ordinary GPS and navigation signals bouncing off Earth, then turn those reflections into data on ocean roughness, floodwater, or ground wetness. The technique is called GNSS reflectometry, and small satellites can do it cheaply because the transmitters are already in orbit. It is a clever surveillance hack. Instead of shining its own flashlight, the sensor reads the echoes from someone else's.
