SUper-Resolved comPRessive InStrument in the visible and medium infrared for Earth observation applications

Descripción del proyecto

Aplicaciones mejores de observación de la Tierra

Los datos de observación de la Tierra son fundamentales para comprender qué sucede en el planeta y abordar retos sociales, pero sus aplicaciones están limitadas por factores como el tiempo de revisita y la resolución espacial. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos SURPRISE se propone implementar un demostrador de una carga de observación de la Tierra superespectral con mejor resolución espacial, procesamiento de datos a bordo y funcionalidades de criptografía. SURPRISE, al ser la primera iniciativa en lograr una carga útil con resolución espacial media y revisita casi continua (cada hora), podría suponer todo un hito en la observación de la Tierra y complementar los servicios operativos existentes.

Objetivo

While Earth Observation (EO) data has become ever more vital to understanding the planet and addressing societal challenges, applications are still limited by revisit time and spatial resolution. Though low Earth orbit missions can achieve resolutions better than 100 m, their revisit time typically stands at several days, limiting capacity to monitor dynamic events. Geostationary (GEO) missions instead typically provide data on an hour-basis but with spatial resolution limited to 1 km, which is insufficient to understand local phenomena.
SURPRISE’s main objective is to implement a demonstrator of a super-spectral EO payload - working in the visible, near- and mid-infrared and conceived to operate from GEO platform - with enhanced capability in spatial resolution, onboard data processing and encryption functionalities.
SURPRISE develops two disruptive technologies: Compressive Sensing (CS) and Spatial Light Modulator (SLM). CS optimises data acquisition (e.g. reduced storage and transmission bandwidth requirements) and enables novel onboard processing and encryption functionalities. SLM here implements the CS paradigm and achieves a super-resolution architecture. SLM technology, at the core of the CS architecture, is addressed by: reworking and testing off-the-shelf parts in relevant environment; developing roadmap for a European SLM, micromirror array-type, with electronics suitable for space qualification.
By introducing for the first time the concept of a payload with medium spatial resolution (few hundreds of meters) and near continuous revisit (hourly), SURPRISE can lead to a EO major breakthrough and complement existing operational services. CS will address the challenge of large data collection, whilst onboard processing will improve timeliness, shortening time needed to extract information from images and possibly generate alarms. Impact is relevant to industrial competitiveness, with potential for market penetration of the demonstrator and its components.
