Technology development and education.
Smallest satellite to carry a hyperspectral imager.
Wide view high detail camera and low frequency receiver. Test new cubesat instrument technology.
X-band synthetic radar aperture microsatellite.
The improvement targeted by this activity is the augmentation of the ITU-R models for W-band with specific measurements. An accurate characterization of the W-band channel over Europe is the goal.
"Will test a miniature solar X-ray flux monitor measuring X-ray missions from coronal mass ejections, huge eruptions from the sun?s surface that can generate space weather storms affecting satellite operations, and power grids and communications networks on Earth."
