EGO-XO: Nanosats for Advanced Gravity Mapping and Crosslink Occultation (EGO-XO)
Project Introduction
Cellular nanosat systems will advance remote sensing to new levels of coverage and detail at a fraction of current costs by exploiting the "network effect". EGO-XO applies this principle to climate, weather, and Earth dynamics through advanced mapping of time-variable gravity and precise atmospheric sensing.

Anticipated Benefits
Provides the potential of future gravitational measurements at much higher accuracies and much lower cost over what the GRACE missions are able to provide. Provides an opportunity to sell real-time radio occultation data for improved weather forcating
