AIR-SOS: AIRBORNE & SATELLITE OBSERVATION STRATEGIES FOR MARINE LITTER MONITORING

Marine Litter is a global issue and can be found in all the seas from the equator to the poles, and in freshwater systems, such as rivers and lakes. Most of the marine litter is plastic and, as plastic production continues to increase, greater impacts are expected. Plastic marine litter dramatically affects marine life and ecosystems and has a great economic impact

The emerging field of satellite remote sensing for plastic detection is promising, but reliable in situ validation data are required to improve algorithms and approaches.

Detection of Ocean Litter Plastics with Hyper-to-multispectral Infrared Neural Networks (DOLPHINN)

The “Detection of Ocean Litter Plastics with Hyper-to-multispectral Infrared Neural Networks” (DOLPHINN) study explored a novel image processing technique to improve the use of space assets to map the distribution of plastic across the globe. The DOLPHINN project objective was to determine the feasibility of using a hyperspectral-to-multispectral association machine learning approach to improve the capability of space-based short wave infrared (SWIR) multispectral assets to detect, quantify, and track plastic litter in waters and on shorelines.

MBSE Deployment for EnVision Science Mission Study
  • Enforce the use of the physical engineering model that TAS-F already has by sub-system architects in order to have the model as a central source of truth
  • Produce an interactive representation of the model allowing its consultation without having to install dedicated modelling tools
  • Produce trend graphs on system budgets
  • Produce document generation capability to export graphs and tables to the system and subsystem budget reports

Remote sensing for marine litter – Early Technology Development Scheme (REACT)

The main objectives of the project are to:
▪ Assess how plastic litter can be detected and quantified with current and future remote sensing tools;
▪ Develop adaptive indices insensible to biases induced by sunglint on satellite radiometric products and indicate the constraints of current satellite missions under various atmospheric and illumination conditions;

OMAR – On orbit manufactured spacecraft

The objective of this activity is to assess the system level and design impacts of optimising a satellite design for on-orbit manufacturing and assembly, as well as preparing it to be refurbished, reused or recycled on orbit afterwards, and to identify the technologies needed.

FLUIDICS (FLUID DYNAMICS IN SPACE) SLOSH4AOCS

The objective of Fluidics experiment is in the first instance to validate the behavior of fluids predicted by computational tools and a priori models in a controlled long duration microgravity environment. From the technological perspective objective of the experiment addresses issues relative to the slosh of fluids during specific spacecraft and satellites maneuvers. The more fundamental objective aims at observing capillary wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid layer in a low-gravity environment in order to be able to correct the physics assumed in computational tools.

Harmonising MBSE standards into ECSS – Model-Based System Engineering – Study Scheme

ESA has traditionally specified space systems using a document-based approach, and is now in a transition process towards the digitalisation of systems engineering activities. At the same time, space industry companies have their own internal set of best practices and experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).

To solve this problem, ESA initiated this study led by CGI in partnership with OHB to identify a way to harmonise the different MBSE approaches from industry and compile the information into a concise book.

De-risk assessment: Spectrometer for Marine Litter

Marine litter causes enormous damage to ecosystems and has become a concern for human health, since plastic has been found entering the food chain. 

To try to solve this, research and industrial communities are now working on systems for detecting and/or capturing marine litter debris. Satellite-based detection approaches, in particular, are still in the early stage of their development and need to be validated with ground truth data and observations.

Mars Surface Platform Capabilities

The objective of this study was to help define how to maintain and further develop European access to the surface of Mars, the major destination for European exploration, following the most recent approved and developed (or currently in development) missions (ExoMars 2016, ExoMars RSP).
