GPS occultation as meteologic model input was first tested and
validated on the Danish "Ørsted satellite":

Yes, but COSMIC is not a constellation of 12 satellites and it is not as
cheap either. These guys want to put up 12 satellites at a total cost of
only $160M

Many times. USAF does this each time they launch a new GPS satellite, to

This would work. I know it has been tested in space already using a tiny

Hi
I haven't seen one of the units you have. Other similar boxes from the same
people are "built to frequency". Unless you want to change between harmonically
related frequencies, it's more than a jumper or firmware setting. You swap both
parts and firmware.

Too much tuning range is easy enough to fix. Use a pot to set it on frequency
and then hook it to the rest of the "stuff" with a fixed resistor. The gotcha
would be if the poor thing drifts so much that it *needs* the wide range to
stay in lock.
My guess is that you could buy a hundred VCXO
Hi all,
I've got a Symmetricom TimeGPS-LLR module which appears to be a cool toy.
Inside I found a X72 rubidium oscillator. The module has a 2006 date
code and appears to be brand new.
The Rb is also 2006 date-coded and should have the 1 PPS capability.
It also came with the control software a
I thought that would work too.
Look at this page:

Silly me to not dig all the way to the bottom of the data sheet ….
Looks like the auction sites may be the better choice.

If I'm not mistaken, the oscillator frequency needs to be an integer multiple
of 240 KHz.

There are a variety of VCXO's and TCVCXO's on the Mouser site. Prices seem to
range from $3 to $10 for the reasonable candidates.
