[EPIC Technology Meeting] SEDI-ATI presents a case study

This EPIC Technology Meeting on Photonics for Space (14-15 October) will delve into the latest advancements and challenges in applying photonics technology to space and new space, in harsh environments.

Our Technical Sales Engineer Emmanuel LECLERC have the pleasure to talk about the CO2M case study, for the theme: “Photonics and instrumentation for Earth monitoring”.

He will present the goal of the CO2M mission, the constraints, and the best-suited fiber-optic solutions that has been provided.

The “Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitoring” mission, more commonly known as CO2M, is part of the Copernicus program of the European Space Agency (ESA), in collaboration with the European Commission (EC) and the Liège Space Center (CSL). This programme focuses on our planet and its environment for the benefit of Europeans citizens. In fact, the aim of Copernicus is to observe the Earth from space, providing data for environmental protection, climate monitoring, natural disaster, and other social tasks. More specifically, the CO2M mission aims to detect, quantify and monitor anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the Earth’s atmosphere, CO₂being the main greenhouse gas produced by Man and responsible for global warming.
