Useable data is one of the most valuable tools scientists can have. The more data sources they have, the better they can make statements about their research topic. For a long time, researchers in the field of navigation and satellite geodesy found it regrettable that although mega-constellations with thousands of satellites orbited Earth for communication purposes, they were unable to use their signals for positioning or for observation of Earth.
