The bistatic GNSS radio altimeter is a promising measuring tool for determining the models of the geoid over the ocean. The quality and volume of the source data increases with the launch of new GNSS satellites. The article discusses an analysis of ongoing space experiments on GNSS-reflectometry and methods of GNSS radio altimetry.

Key words: geoid, space altimetry, GNSS-R, bistatic radiolocation.
