FYI: Yet another use for GPS timing signals is proposed:

==================================
It's already been done! GPS occultation sensors have been fitted to Metop-A
and Metop-B satellites, which have been in orbit since 2006 (Metop-A). You
get an integrated path over the atmosphere, so in some respects precise, in
others a blurred view.
Cheers,
David
