    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Derek van Winden; [2024]
    Keywords : Juice; Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer; JDC; Jovian plasma Dynamics and Composition analyzer; Particle Environment Package; PEP; Jupiter; Ganymede; Callisto; Europa; solar wind; magnetosheath; spacecraft charging; Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Software; SPIS; charging; plasma; measurement perturbations; perturbation; distortion; particle detector; Institutet för Rymdfysik; IRF; Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies; DIAS; European Space Agency; ESA;

    Abstract :  In July 2031, a new chapter in the exploration of the Jovian system will begin with the arrival of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) at Jupiter. Launched on April 14 2024 as part of ESA’s Cosmic Vision programme, the mission aims to study Jupiter and its icy Galilean moons Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development and Implementation of Techniques for the Simulation and Processing for Future SAR Systems

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Tim Kinnunen; [2023]
    Keywords : Synthetic Aperture Radar; SAR; Reverse Backprojection Algorithm; RBPA; Backprojection Algorithm; SAR simulator; SAR processing;

    Abstract : Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a type of radar system that can generate high-resolution images with which one can detect subtle changes on the scale of centimetres from space. It can operate in any weather condition and during both day and night, making it unique compared to optical sensors. READ MORE

  6. 5. Spatial downscaling of gridded soil moisture products using optical and thermal satellite data: the effects of using different vegetation indices

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tómas Halldórsson Alexander; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; Remote Sensing; Soil moisture; Downscaling; Vegetation index; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis.
