Summary: | 3Cat-2 is a 6 U CubeSat mission designed to perform ocean altimetry by means of Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry (GNSS-R). In this paper 3Cat-2 mission is presented. The main payload is the novel dual-band altimeter P(Y) & C/A ReflectOmeter (PYCARO) which has already been tested from a pier and from an aircraft over the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, an experiment from the DLR/SNSB Balloon-borne EXperiments for University Students (BEXUS) stratospheric balloon in North Sweden will be performed on October 2013 for the ultimate optimization of the payload parameters.
