The Earth is constantly illuminated by spaceborne radio signals emitted from a plethora of satellites, with over 2000 satellites in the Starlink constellation alone. Many of these are part of dedicated Earth Observation missions, but also includes signals from other sources such as satellite TV and telecommunications networks. These signals could be used for a wide variety of remote sensing tasks. This workshop, funded by SPRINT, aims to bring together academic, industry and government stakeholders in an effort to identify the major technical challenges and recent breakthroughs and applications for space based sensor networks. The workshop will present the SPRINT funded feasibility study 'Passive Satellite Radar for Maritime Applications', a collaborative project between University of Bristol, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 4 Earth Intelligence and Polychord.
