Sentinel-3 is a scientific mission of ESA to measure sea-surface topography, sea- and land-surface temperature and ocean- and land-surface colour with high-end accuracy and reliability in support of ocean forecasting systems, and for environmental and climate monitoring.
Space Structures provided the following structures engineering services for the development of several instruments:
The Sentinel-4 mission is dedicated to monitoring the composition of the atmosphere for the COPERNICUS programme. This mission will be carried on the MTG satellites operated by Eumetsat.
Space Structures provided the following structures and system engineering services for the development of several instruments:
In the frame of the DEOS-Mission dysfunctional spacecraft shall be removed from their orbit, reducing space debris. For the LiQuaRD (3D-LIdar QUAlification for Rendezvous and Docking) and RVS-3000 projects a LIDAR-Sensor was developed for tracking these spacecraft. The LIDAR system shall be the sensor for the DEOS mission.
Space Structures provided the following structures engineering services:
Solar Orbiter is a scientific mission about solar- and heliospheric physics. The METIS instrument (coronagraph) provides data in the visible and ultraviolet spectra about the emissions of the sun's corona. The Polarimeter is the part of the instrument which polarises the light spectra.
Space Structures provided the following structures engineering services:
The MicroWave Imager (MWI) instrument, on board the MetOp-SG satellite B series, is a conically scanning microwave radiometer. MWI provides measurements of cloud and precipitation products, water vapour and temperature profiles and surface imagery.
Space Structures provided the following structures engineering services:
METimage is an advanced multispectral imaging radiometer for meteorological applications to be integrated in the EUMETSAT Polar System Second Generation (EPS-SG) which is planned to be operational as of 2021. This multi-purpose instrument, which will provide inter alia detailed information on clouds, cloud cover, land surface properties, and sea, ice, and land surface temperature, contributing important data for meteorological- and climate forecasting.
Space Structures provides the following structures engineering services:
NOMAD is a spectrometer suite that can measure the spectrum of sunlight across a wide range of wavelengths (infrared, ultraviolet and visible). This broad coverage of the instrument enables the detection of the components of the Martian atmosphere, even in low concentrations. In addition to identifying the constituents of the Martian atmosphere, NOMAD will also map their locations.
