Your Crew

You will work together with a dynamic team, responsible for the development and verification of satellite onboard equipments and sub-systems. You will join us in changing and refining the way we work in an innovative industry with endless opportunities for improvement. You will be part of a dedicated team with the ambition to innovate space!

Your Mission

GNSS Radio Occultation is a passive atmospheric sounding technique where GNSS signals are received by a low Earth orbit satellite. After ground processing to the so-called bending angle of the signal, these measurements go in to numerical weather forecasts and provides important data on temperature, pressure, and humidity. In the end leading to a more reliable weather forecast.

Beyond Gravity in Gothenburg has built the GRAS-2 instruments that perform these measurements on the MetOp-SG satellites, the first of which was launched in August 2025. After the launch, the instrument performance needs to be verified. For this reason Beyond Gravity has developed a Ground Processor Prototype where data is processed to the level of bending angle. The current implementation of the phase matching technique for calculating the bending angle in the troposphere suffers from rather slow performance making it hard to process data at the rate it is produced by the instrument.

The diploma job would be to speed up this algorithm. The most likely method for this would be to utilize the Fast Fourier Transform, which requires a substitution of variables in the fundamental equations. The thesis project will consist of a literature review, a study of our current implementation (in Matlab), mathematical derivation of the formulas for faster processing, implementation of the method in Matlab code, and verification of the results.
