NASA Lost Communication With CYGNSS
On 26 Nov 2022, NASA’s CYGNSS (Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System) team lost signals or communication with FM06, the eight CYGNSS spacecraft
According to the statement by NASA
CYGNSS team received data from FM06 satellite for the last time on 26 November around 4:32 p.m. EST (2132 GMT)
What is the current situation?
CYGNSS team is currently working to receive signal from the satellite & trying hard to establish a connection
Is the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System still working without FM06?
Yes, the remaining 7 satellites are continuing their operation normally & collecting the scientific data
Is it a loss without CYGNSS' eight spacecraft?
Yes, The spatial coverage of CYGNSS will be reduced if the team could not reconnect with the CYGNSS' eight spacecraft
What is NASA' Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System?
It is a Hurricane-Tracking Satellite, a constellation of eight small satellites that track the typhoons
First space-based system collecting the space‐based measurements?
Of the wind' speed from the surface of ocean’s inner core of storms like hurricanes, typhoons & cyclones
Unique features of CYGNSS?
Have capability of measuring the wind field of ocean surface with remarkable resolution & spatial coverage
CYGNSS Spacecraft use the United States’ GPS System
And act as passive sensors & measure the winds speed within the inner core of storms
