French satellite TARANIS will be tasked with studying of radiation from atmospheric lightning discharges and from optical phenomena observed between the Earth's troposphere and ionosphere. The IDEE-A unit is designed for the measurement control, storage and processing of the data and their pipelining to the scientific telemetry MEXIC.
French satellite TARANIS will be tasked with studying of radiation from atmospheric lightning discharges and from optical phenomena observed between the Earth's troposphere and ionosphere (blue jets, red sprites, halos, elves). The IME-HF will record detailed waveform measurements of fluctuating electric fields in the frequency range from a few kHz up to 37 MHz.
Solar Wind Plasma Analyzer (SWA) is one of ten instruments that will be placed in the Solar Orbiter probe. Its sensors will measure density, velocity and temperature of ions and electrons of the solar wind between 0.28 and 1.4 times the Earth-Sun distance.
The objective of the SAFETREE (Satellite Support to Forest Fires Airborne Patrol) project, coordinated by Gisat, was to design, develop and verify an operational forest monitoring service in order to support forest fire danger assessment in the Czech Republic.
The syntactic epoxy foam designed for use in space was developed in the Epoxy Core project. As part of the sandwich composites for launchers it significantly reduces its total weight. Saving material is crucial for this area. At the same time, the foam retains parameters defined in the project.
CSRC company and scientists from Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the CTU finalize project ELT. The ELT project is purely Czech contribution to important international experiment ACES. Its major goal is to verify performance of new generation of extremely precise atomic clock in microgravity.
Gisat has completed a its DROMAS project. Two types of services were created. They are intended to monitor the health of agricultural crops and provide management and decision-making support at the farm level. Performance of services will be evaluated in a follow-up project within next three years.
The Czech Space Office has returned from 66th International Astronautical Congress 2015 in Jerusalem. Motto of the IAC 2015 was "Space - the Gateway for Mankind's Future" and it was attended by total of 2,100 registered participants.
Even on the last day of the International Astronautical Congress, the CSO presented its activities and projects of Czech workplaces at its booth. The next IAC will be hosted by Mexican Guadalajara. This year's IAC has been elected the city for congress in 2018, German Bremen.
During the fourth day of the IAC 2105, CSO booth was attended by a number of interesting participants among whom was the director of the Polish Space Agency, the director of the Israeli company C.M.I. or representative of D-Orbit company. Despite the unstable security situation the congress continues without problems.
