Andreas Dielacher, Heinrich Fragner, Otto Koudelka
Abstract
Abstract The Passive Reflectometry and Dosimetry (PRETTY) is a small satellite mission developed by a consortium consisting of RUAG Space GmbH (RSA), Graz University of Technology (TUG), and Seibersdorf Laboratories (SL). The primary objective of the passive altimetry within the PRETTY mission is to measure the ice and sea ice surface elevation and roughness in the polar regions.
