SINTEF data helps University of Texas team link GPS-related signals to Russian satellite
University of Texas researchers have attributed unexplained radio signals, associated with GPS disruption across Europe, to Kosmos 2546, a Russian satellite, after SINTEF supplied decisive measurements.
Why it matters: University of Texas researchers studying GPS disruption in Europe identified where the signals originated using measurements supplied by SINTEF.
SINTEF said a University of Texas research team had spent months trying to pinpoint where unexplained radio signals tied to European GPS disruption were coming from.
According to SINTEF, its own measurements were what allowed the team to make the decisive step.
SINTEF reported that the signals have been attributed to Kosmos 2546, a Russian satellite.
