PlanetiQ operates a GNSS radio occultation weather satellite constellation, selling atmospheric profile data to meteorological agencies and commercial forecasters for weather prediction models.
ACTIVEPlanetiQ builds and operates a constellation of GNSS radio occultation (GNSS-RO) weather satellites that measure atmospheric temperature, pressure, and moisture profiles with high accuracy. The company sells its data to meteorological agencies and commercial weather forecasters to improve numerical weather prediction models.
PlanetiQ satellites use the GNSS-RO technique, measuring how GPS and other GNSS signals bend as they pass through the atmosphere, to generate precise vertical profiles of atmospheric conditions. This data type is considered among the most valuable per-observation inputs for global weather models.
