Radar Altimeter Database System (RADS): a harmonised, validated and cross-calibrated sea level database from satellite altimeter data.
TU Delft Astrodynamics Toolbox (Tudat): a C++ library developed and maintained by staff and students for simulating various astrodynamics applications.
GNSS receivers: our groups owns GNSS receivers which are used for both continuous and campaign GPS/GLONASS/Galileo measurements in cooperation with governmental agencies and universities in Europe and South-East Asia.
