Scintillation Prediction Observations Research Task (SPORT) Update

The Brazilian Technical Institute for Aeronautics (ITA) Team successfully performed the RF field test (VHF, UHF and X-Band) at Cuiabá, to verify the end-to-end link between the new ground station and SPORT engineering unit (EM). ITA collected data from the EM to provide to the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) EMBRACE (Brazilian Studies and Monitoring of Space Weather) for producing ancillary data to share with instrument providers for data validation. Next week they plan to perform additional tests using a GPS simulator to provide more data to EMBRACE. ITA and INPE continue working on operations training utilizing the SPORT EM.
