Thermal Infrared Imager Assessment Study for the Asteroid Impact Mission

ESA’s Asteroid Impact Mission (AIM) is both a Technology Mission of Opportunity, and a mission to greatly improve our understanding of asteroid physical properties and their response to a hypervelocity impact event on their surface. The AIM mission is combined with the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). Both missions complement one another in a joint asteroid impact test and observation campaign called Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment (AIDA). The Thermal InfraRed Imager (TIRI) is Thermal IR imager of the AIM mission.

Benchmarking re-entry prediction uncertainties (Parallel a)

The primary objective of the Benchmarking re-entry prediction uncertainties study is to fully exploit the informa- tion content of the GOCE observations and telemetry collected during its reentry phase for better understand- ing re-entry predictions in general and for GOCE in particular (ESA, 2015). Down to an altitude of 137 km, a rich data set of high-quality GPS, star tracker and also accelerometer observations were collected, be it that the latter were more and more saturated.

Assessment of a Low Velocity PicoSat Orbital Deployer for AIM and Interplanetary Missions

The output of the activity should show the necessary engineering changes to an existing CubeSat deployer to meet AIM mission and system requirements and prepare an appropriate interface definition for accommodation on the AIM spacecraft including among others:
- Identification of the requirements for a LV-POD in an interplanetary environment, first addressing the needs of AIM and extending to generic interplanetary missions.
- Review of technology to extend existing CubeSat deployment systems and identification of their limitations.

Impact of Low Earth Orbit Observations on Tropospheric Composition Analysis and Forecast

The ISOTROP project was a response to the ESA ITT "Impact of Spaceborne Observations on Tropospheric Composition Analysis and Forecast", AO/1- 6845/11/NL/AF. The general aim is to assess the benefit of the LEO+GEO satellite system for the understanding of local to regional scale tropospheric composition with a focus on Europe. The ISOTROP consortium involved researchers from the European institutes CNRS-GAME, TNO, NILU, FMI, and was led by KNMI.
