The activity followed the development of an innovative hyperspectral imaging system for remote sensing applications in the thermal infrared. The camera is compact, lightweight and robust. The activity covered the development of the three modules of the imager, namely the spectrometer, the telescope and the detector. The consortium designed and manufactured an innovative spectrometer based on Fourier transform spectroscopy, consisting on calomel birefringent crystals, with working range in the thermal infrared.

Over the past years, the tendency to capture huge volumes of historical data describing process operations together with complex experimental datasets has become a reality. In this regard, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and in particular machine learning (ML) for data mining addresses the question of which is the best way to use this historical data to discover regularities and to facilitate future decisions.

The proposed activity will focus on the implementation of the company?s compression technology for high-resolution Earth Observation systems. The tight coupling between the physical models of image acquisition and information theory has allowed the company?s technology to achieve outstanding performance in terms of compression ratio, throughput, power consumption and FPGA resource utilization.

Contrary to a traditional system, in which input A should provide expected results B, an adaptive and evolving system needs different acceptance criteria.
Besides this, the traditional process for doing the verification and validation is not sufficient anymore and needs rethinking. For example; it might no longer be possible to run-through all the possible test-scenarios before launch.

This study proposes the assessment of impingement erosion and electrochemical corrosion resistance of two coatings materials deposited by Cold Spray technology and compare them to 440C annealed steel. The tested coating materials were CrMnFeCoNi and WC-Ni, deposited on 2205 duplex stainless steel substrates using nitrogen as process gas. In between the substrate and the high entropy alloy coating, an interlayer coating of 316 stainless steel was used to enable HEA adhesion. The presence of WC particles in the WC-Ni composite coatings was confirmed by SEM cross sectional inspection.

A reusable space transportation system is a space system intended to allow for recovery of all or part of the system for later reuse. The term ?reusable space transportation vehicle? refers to several different levels of reuse ranging from the entire vehicle to only parts of it. Reusable space transportation systems present the opportunity to reduce the cost of transportation and to provide capabilities that are not available right now.

Despite different attempts performed in the past two decades, Europe is lacking a competitive product for a large reflector with the requested TRL level to embark on a commercial program. Need is identified to cover antenna applications from 4 up to 18 meter and for frequencies from UHF up to Ka band.. American companies are leaders in this domain and are commercially dominating the worldwide market.
