NASA satellites designed for monitoring cyclone wind speeds and ice sheet changes have demonstrated the ability to detect the approximate locations of GPS jammers. This capability may assist in monitoring areas at risk for aircraft and maritime navigation amid increasing GPS interference globally. An experiment conducted by Sean Gorman, CEO of Zephr.xyz, revealed that two NASA satellite systems could locate a known GPS jammer within several kilometers of its position in Iran. According to Clara Chew, principal scientist at Muon Space, while these satellites cannot provide near-real-time monitoring or exact locations of GPS jammers, identifying their approximate locations could aid in flight planning and highlight high-risk areas for maritime shipping.
