Le satellite COSPAR pour la recherche avancée en sciences de la Terre a la collaboration de 5 pays – SatNews

HEX20 collabore avec Laboratoire de Physique Atmosphérique et Spatiale (LASP – États-Unis), Centre universitaire national central de physique et de génie astronautique (UCN CAP – Taïwan), Laboratoire Atmosphères, Milieux, Observations spatiales (LATMOS – France), et SKYROOT Aérospatiale – L’Inde va lancer le COSPAR satellite, une réalisation remarquable dans le domaine de la technologie spatiale qui ouvrira la voie à de nouvelles possibilités de recherche. Cet effort de collaboration a été rendu possible grâce à la coordination et au soutien du Comité de recherche spatiale (COSPAR).

Le satellite COSPAR vise à étudier divers aspects de l’atmosphère terrestre, y compris la dynamique et la chimie atmosphériques, ainsi que les effets de la météo spatiale sur notre planète. Le satellite fournira également des données précieuses pour soutenir les prévisions météorologiques et la modélisation climatique. Avec ce projet, les équipes collaboratrices espèrent contribuer à l’avancement des connaissances scientifiques et de l’exploration.

"The expertise and resources of HEX20, LASP, NCU CAPE, LATMOS and SKYROOT have combined to make this project a reality. We are proud to be working together to contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge and exploration. The COSPAR Satellite is a remarkable achievement that will benefit researchers and scientists worldwide. This joint effort is a testament to the power of collaboration and demonstrates what can be achieved when experts from different fields work together."
Lloyd Lopez, HEX20 CEO
In 2021, we initiated a Task Group to develop a constellation of small satellites for space science missions dealing with the ionosphere, radiation belts or the Earth atmosphere, possibly extending in the future to solar system planetary missions. The aim for COSPAR is to act as a honest broker, to coordinate the programs and then distribute science data received from various payloads developed by partnering entities world-wide. I am extremely happy to see the first step of this ambitious venture materializing, through this joint project with HEX20, LASP, NCU CAPE, LATMOS and Skyroot.
