CICERO-6 (Community Initiative for Continuing Earth Radio Occultation) is a CubeSat designed and operated by GeoOptics, Inc.[1] It is the first launched of the CICERO satellite constellation. Its purpose, as part of the constellation, is to use GPS and Galileo radio occultation (GNSS-RO) and GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) to provide data on Earth's atmosphere and climate.[2][4] The CICERO project aimed to have a lower cost compared to other Earth observation projects.[5]
