DETECT's SWOT-Team installing Raspberry Pi reflectors and micro stations on Rhine bridges

In the DETECT B01 project, we are installing Raspberry Pi Reflectors (RPR) based on GNSS-IR technique and vorteX.io real-time laser micro-stations (MS) attached to bridges for calibration and validation of the SWOT mission launched on 16 December. The first installations and results are documented in Figure 1 below.
