IOD of techniques and technologies for M2M Telecom missions

Generally speaking DIAMS has been an opportunity to secure the feasibility of the IOD in technical, programmatic and financial terms. More specifically DIAMS has allowed to define the end-to-end mission concept for this IOD, covering the design of various associated segments : Space Segment (Payload, Platform), and Ground Segment. Both interest and programmatic aspects have also been consolidated.

- On the technical plane :
Both the requirements and the design of the system have been refined to validate the IOD concept :

Simplified models for spacecraft vulnerability assessments in early design phase

All spacecraft in Earth orbit are exposed to the risk of impact with Micrometeoroids and Orbital Debris (M/OD). Because of the large collision velocities, Hypervelocity Impacts (HVI) with M/OD may cause significant damage to various subsystems and components up to mission failure.

Use of spectral information at microwave region for numerical weather prediction

In the context of satellite remote sensing, “hyper-spectral” is a generic term that means that “many channels” are observed. For InfraRed (IR) instruments, this term is associated with thousands channels, but for the MicroWave (MW) domain, an instrument with hundred of channels is already considered to be hyper-spectral. There are two main alternative concepts in using hyper-spectral information in MW:

3-D Fire Radiative Power Modelling Approach

Biomass burning is a key Earth system process, a major element of the terrestrial carbon cycle and a globally highly significant source of certain atmospheric trace gases and (primarily fine mode) aerosols. Natural and anthropogenic biomass burning occurs on all continents except Antarctica, with an estimated average of 3.5 - 4.5 million km2 of vegetation burnt in global wildfires each year (though this does not include the very large numbers of "small" agricultural fires that are difficult to map using current coarse spatial resolution remote sensing datasets).

Atmospheric correction for Geostationary High Resolution ocean applications

The objective of this study was to identify and implement solutions to the short comings of atmospheric correction schemes for geostationary satellites for ocean applications and consolidate the related Geo-Oculus requirements.

Environmental impact assessment analysis

Public awareness of the urgent need for mitigating the environmental impacts of human activities is ever growing. This results in a more and more stringent public environmental legislation and an increasing public pressure. In this context, the European Space Agency (ESA), as a public sector intergovernmental organisation, wants to put the environmental concern as a priority in all its activities, as expressed in its Framework Policy on Sustainable Development.
