An Earth observation satellite containing a hyperspectral imager has been launched into Space in a five-year programme spearheaded by the Italian Space Agency
The European Space Agency’s Aeolus satellite containing a powerful UV laser and custom CCD detector for measuring wind speed has been launched into space yesterday. It will provide detailed profiles of the Earth's winds to improve weather forecasts
A multispectral imaging device small enough to be installed on a nanosatellite is being developed in research led by the University of Strathclyde
Mick Johnson, director of the Centre for EO Instrumentation and Space Technology, comments ahead of the centre's Space Technology Showcase event about the trend taking place in developing small satellites for Earth observation
