Zentrum für Luft‐ SB1/SB2 HAG‐1 / SmallGEO und Raumfahrt Some missions involve several space agencies, such as International H2SAT Space Station (ISS). Thus the same mission may appear under several Eu:CROPIS agencies and, sometimes, may even show different dates and/or ENMAP status (whether in operation, in development, or proposed) GRACE‐FO depending when each agency last updated the information it provides Last updated or EDRS to the IOAG. Also, a mission may include a series of spacecraft verified: IOAG‐21 DEOS launched over time (e.g. JAXA’s HTV cargo resupply missions to ISS), or Columbus (ISS Module) a constellation of spacecraft (e.g. NASA’s Magnetospheric Multi‐Scale mission which consists of four spacecraft flying in formation).

  • Landsat 9 Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris Mission Success Approach
    First Int'l. Orbital Debris Conf. 2019 (LPI Contrib. No. 2109) 6058.pdf Landsat 9 Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris Mission Success Approach Michael S. Pryzby(1), Scott M. Hull(2), Angela M. Russo(2), Glenn T. Iona(2), Daniel Helfrich(2), and Evan H. Webb(2) (1) ATA Aerospace, 7474 Greenway Center Dr, Suite 500, Greenbelt, MD 20770, USA (2) NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, 8800 Greenbelt Rd, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA ABSTRACT Landsat 9* (L9) is the successor mission to Landsat 8 (L8) previously known as Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM). Both missions are large unmanned remote sensing satellites operating in sun- synchronous polar orbits. As opposed to L8/LDCM, systems engineers for L9 incorporated Micrometeoroid/Orbital Debris (MMOD) protection for small object collisions as part of the L9’s mission success criteria. In other words, the NASA Process for Limiting Orbital Debris (NASA-STD-8719.14A) only calls for analyses of the protection of disposal-critical hardware, but L9 opted to also assess and provide small particle penetration protections for all observatory components including instruments that are not part of the spacecraft components needed for controlled reentry. Systems engineers at Goddard developed a design process to protect against MMOD during the life of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) observatories, and in particular the Landsat 9 Mission. Simply stated, this design process enhanced the effectiveness of existing Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI) to provide the needed protection. The end goal of the design process was to establish a necessary blanket areal density for a given electronics box or instrument wall thickness and a separation between the outer MLI blanket and the structure underneath.

  • PORTUGUESE SPACE CATALOGUE PORTUGUESE SPACE CATALOGUE Fundação Para a Ciência E a Tecnologia (FCT) Is the National Funding Agency for Science and Research in Portugal
    PORTUGUESE SPACE CATALOGUE PORTUGUESE SPACE CATALOGUE Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) is the national funding agency for science and research in Portugal. FCT promotes internationally competitive and high impact science, technology and innovation across all areas of knowledge, including exact, natural and health sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities. The FCT Space Office addresses all space related issues. It is strongly committed to strengthening the participation of Portuguese researchers and entrepreneurs in space-related activities and in bringing the benefits of developing space sciences, technologies and its applications to Portuguese citizens. Please reach us through [email protected] and on our website www.fct.pt. Towards the end of 2000, Portugal became a member state of the European Space Agency, thus paving the way to full participation in ESA technology and applications programmes. The success achieved by Portuguese companies and research institutes in the European Union programmes, namely in FP7, Copernicus (formerly known as GMES) and Galileo is proof that Portuguese companies and academia are both competitive and reliable partners. Indeed, Portugal contributes to most European Space programmes, covering key domains of space applications, ranging from satellite telecommunications, global navigation systems, Earth observation, space technology, space sciences and robotic exploration. The Portuguese Space Community is an active member of international networks, developing complex space technologies and participating in space science and exploration missions. This community is made up of innovative, knowledge- intensive companies, specialised research institutes and modern public institutions, all strongly engaged in advancing space science, technologies and their application in non-space sectors. Indeed, one of the success factors of the Portuguese Space Community is precisely the close links between companies and academia.

  • The RADARSAT-Constellation Mission (RCM)
    The RADARSAT-Constellation Mission (RCM) Dr. Heather McNairn Science and Technology Branch, ORDC [email protected] Daniel De Lisle RADARSAT Constellation Mission Manager Canadian Space Agency [email protected] Why Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)? The Physics: • At microwave frequencies, energy causes alignment of dipoles (sensitive to number of water molecules in target) • Characteristics of structure in target impacts how microwaves scatter (sensitive to roughness and canopy structure) The Operations: • At wavelengths of centimetres to metres in length, microwaves are unaffected by cloud cover and haze • As active sensors, SARs generate their own source of energy; can operate day or night and under low illumination conditions The Reality for Agriculture: • The backscatter intensity and scattering characteristics can be used to estimate amount of water in soils and crops, and tell us something about the type and condition of crops • The near-assurance of data collection is critical for time sensitive applications, in times of emergency (i.e. flooding), risk (i.e. disease), and for consistent measures over the entire growing season (i.e. monitoring crop condition) Why a RADARSAT Constellation? • The use of C-Band SAR has increased significantly since the launch of RADARSAT-1 • Many Government of Canada users have developed operational applications that deliver information and products to Canadians and the international community, based on RADARSAT • This constellation ensures C-Band continuity with improved system reliability, primarily to support current and future operational users • RCM is a government-owned mission, tailored to respond to Canadian Government needs for maritime surveillance, disaster management and ecosystem monitoring Improved stream flow forecasts1 Estimates of crop biomass2 AAFC’s annual crop inventory Produced by ACGEO Contact: [email protected] 1Bhuiyan, H.A.K.M, McNairn, H., Powers, J., and Merzouki, A.
