• 053da8e9-78d7-4d7f-997a-d06773323b7e definition "- Spacecraft Brief Description - The GEOdetic SATellite (GEOSAT) was a dedicated US Navy military oceanographic satellite consisting of a radar altimeter designed to obtain closely spaced, precise mapping of the earth's geoid over the ocean. On November 8, 1986, the satellite was moved into an Exact Repeat Mission (ERM) orbit with a repeat cycle of 17.05 days. The GEOSAT mission was originally managed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). During the development phase, the program responsibility was transferred to the Naval Electronics Systems Command, now called the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) in Washington, D.C. The Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) was the prime contractor for the spacecraft and radar altimeter and performed spacecraft command and control operations and collected the satellite data. The data was distributed to the Naval Surface Weapons Center (NSWC), the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity (NORDA), and NOAA. An arrangement was made with the National Ocean Service of NOAA to obtain the classified GEOSAT geophysical data records (GDR) providing wind, wave and sea-level products and made available to the user community. NASA obtained GEOSAT data for extensive waveform modeling and ice sheet research.The basic structure of the GEOSAT is similar to the GEOS-3 satellite: The design consists of a conical structure below the core for the structural attachment of the velocity control system. The GEOSAT attitude control subsystem was designed to point the radar altimeter to within 1 degree of nadir 98 percent of the time. The system components were a 20-foot scissors boom with 100-pound end mass, redundant momentum wheels for roll and yaw stiffness, and pitch and roll attitude control thrusters. Attitude sensing was provided through the use of three digital sun-attitude detectors and a three-axis vector magnetometer. Spacecraft command was accomplished via a VHF uplink from the APL ground station. The telemetry subsystem consisted of two S-band transmitters, two tape recorders, and two encryption units. The GEOSAT was equipped with two Odetics dual-track high-density tape recorders that independently recorded the 10.205 kbps telemetry stream and played it back at 833 kbps for transmission to the ground. The GEOSAT also included redundant Doppler beacons for continuous tracking by a network of ground stations within the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) and for a source of accurate timing to the radar altimeter and the telemetry subsystem. A C-band transponder was also included on GEOSAT. See Jensen,J.J. and F.R.Wooldridge, 'The Navy GEOSAT Mission: An Introduction'; McConathy, D.R. and C.C.Kilgus, 'The Navy GEOSAT Mission: An Overview', and Frain,W.E., M.H.Barbagallo, and R.J.Harvey,'The Design and Operation of GEOSAT', all in Johns Hopkins APL Technical Digest, Volume 8, Number 2 (1987). - Auxiliary Information - Launch Date and Time : 1985-03-12 Epoch Date and Time : Apogee (km or AU): 814.

A new microphysical instrument, the Cloud Particle Spectrometer with Polarization Detection (CPSPD), has been developed that measures light intensity scattered (in forward and backward directions) by individual cloud particles that pass through a focused laser beam and derives their size and thermodynamic phase (liquid or ice) in the optical diameter range from 2 to 50 μm. The optical equivalent diameter is derived from the light scattered in the forward direction. The change in polarization state of the incident light, caused by interaction with the cloud particle, is determined from the polarized components of the backscattered light. The CPSPD, along with several other cloud microphysical probes, has been flown on the University of North Dakota Citation aircraft in mixed phase clouds. It has also been deployed and operated at the Zugspitze research station studying mountain clouds. The preliminary results show that liquid cloud droplets can be distinguished from ice crystals and that the ice fraction can be estimated; an important parameter for better understanding of cloud processes, particularly that of glaciation." @default.

Solar extinction is measured in nine narrow band optical channels, covering the spectral range from 350 to 1030 nm POAM III is an improved version of POAM II. It has an improved electronic system that provides lower noise and more accurate measurements. The optical filters were manufactured with a better technology that yields higher transmission and greater ability to withstand the space environment. The wavelengths and bandwidths of the science channels differ slightly from those in POAM II. POAM III, like POAM II, was fabricated by ThermoTrex Corporation in San Diego, California.

Our aim is to develop and promote of practical applications of satellite oceanography, by working with industry, the research community and commercial and institutional end users. We are also motivated by the quality control of satellite data, including the routine monitoring of operational data streams as well as the detailed analysis of archive data. Our principal technical expertise is on the data and information available from satellite microwave sensors that give measurements of ocean winds, waves and currents. We also have close association with specialists on satellite optical, infrared and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery from which information on sea surface temperature, water quality parameters and other oceanographic features can be obtained. This gives us a full understanding of all techniques and applications of satellite oceanography, or marine earth observation (EO) as it is also known. We recognise that pure satellite-based solutions rarely provide the complete answer to user problems and requirements, and therefore promote an integrated approach. This is often a combination of satellite data, local measurements and numerical models. Our services include: data processing, integration and dissemination; project definition, proposal preparation and project management; user federation, requirements surveys and analysis; bespoke studies, presentations and report writing.

Many Northerners remain reliant on wildlife as a source of food, financial income and cultural identity and are demanding programs which will provide greater security in the safety of country foods and programs that ensure the long-term sustainability of wildlife populations. Changing climatic conditions are predicted to alter wildlife habitat, facilitate the northward migration of wildlife diseases and parasites, and alter contaminant cycling and fate; all of which have the potential to detrimentally affect the health and long term sustainability of wildlife populations and ultimately the source and safety of country foods (ACIA 2004; Boonstra 2004; Derocher et al. 2003; Harvell et al., 2002; Hoberg et al., 2002; Kutz et al. 2004; Lie et al. 2004 & 2005). Adequate baseline data (benchmarks) regarding the current health conditions of wildlife (including zoonotic pathogens) is therefore urgently needed for the assessment and prediction of wildlife health impacts resulting from the cumulative impacts of multiple stressors associated with climate change and exposure to anthropogenic contaminants. Issues regarding potential impacts to Arctic wildlife health and the safety of country foods are complex and will require an integrated approach from a wide range of scientific and social disciplines. The work outlined in this proposal will integrate well in a supportive manner with other IPY proposals (710, 742, 364, 261- Canadian #, and 231) focussed on wildlife health and social aspects. During 2007 to 2009 we propose the following: Overall objectives – 1. Document distribution and abundance of Trichinella nativa, Toxoplasma gondii, and Anisakis simplex in Arctic/subarctic wildlife. 2. Develop community capacity for ongoing detection and monitoring of above zoonotic pathogens through the development of a community-based testing program in order to provide Northerners rapid information regarding the safety of harvested country foods. This program will build upon other currently existing initiatives such as the Nunavik and Nunavut Trichinellosis Prevention Programs with the purpose enhancing the science, and broadening the present scope of services and capacity building within the communities. Once this framework is established it will be expanded to monitoring a variety of biological ‘indicators’ in various wildlife species in order to begin the process of establishing baseline benchmarks regarding wildlife health by engaging local hunters from selected communities to report on general health indices (i.e., body condition, behavior, pathogen observations). The collection of wildlife health indices will be modeled after the Nunavut Wildlife Health Assessment project and the Shatu Community based monitoring program which have been administered by investigators of this current proposal. 3. Facilitate the collection of wildlife samples for other researchers outside of this project. It is recognized that the collective impact of multiple IPY research request to northern communities will present a daunting task to local Hunter and Trapper Organizations / Associations within Canada, and similar organizations in other circumpolar locations. We propose to help avoid duplication of sampling effort by working in a liaison manner with the local hunter organization and northern communities for which we have already established a measure of familiarity and trust.

In the case of the SASS, the main interest was in measuring the ocean surface backscatter as a means to derive the surface wind vector. The physical basis for this technique is that the strength of the radar backscatter is proportional to the amplitude of the surface capillary waves (Bragg scattering), which in turn is related the wind speed near the surface. Moreover, the radar backscatter is anisotropic, allowing the wind direction to be derived from backscatter measurements at different azimuth angles. In practice, however, there was normally a fourfold ambiguity in the wind direction that had to be resolved manually. The SASS operated at a frequency of 14.6 GHz (or 2.0 cm). It incorporated four dual-polarized fan beam antennas, two radiating +/- 45 degrees forward and two, +/- 45 degrees aft, which produced an X-shaped pattern of illumination on the surface. Global measurements of the surface wind velocity over the seas were obtained from SASS at least once every 36 hours with the high latitudes being covered more frequently. The resolution of the instrument was 50 km and the grid spacing of the output data product, 100 km. ___________ Taken from: Elachi,C., 'Microwave and Infrared Satellite Remote Sensors,' in MANUAL OF REMOTE SENSING, edited by R.N.Colwell, pp 571-650, American Society of Photogrammetry, Sheridan Press, Falls Church, Virginia, 1983.

China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means 'Compass'. The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means 'Compass'. The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched. More than 10 satellites will be put into service within the next two years by Long-March launchers. Around 2011, the system will be capable to offer services on a regional scale." @default.

The objective is to provide high-resolution multispectral imagery with high geo-location accuracy. The camera design employs a pushbroom imaging concept. Extensive use of existing state-of-the-art technologies is made regarding such items as: a) camera alignment procedures, b) telescope thermal control and mechanical assembly principles, c) video processing techniques. 49) 50) 51) 52) 53) The industrial team consists of the following partners: • Thales Alenia Space, France: Instrument, telescope, detection unit, telescope structure & thermal control, video electronics, video power supply, harness • Thales Alenia Space España: Instrument service module • Sener: Shutter, detection unit structure & thermal control • E2V (Chelmsford, UK): Pan & MS CCD imaging detectors • SESO (Société Européenne de Systèmes Optiques), France: telescope mirror manufacturing • EADS Sodern: FPA (Focal Plane Assembly) • Sagem: Spectral filters. Equipment Technology Implementation Panchromatic detector CCD detector array with TDI (Time Delay Integration) mode of operation and anti-blooming structure High resolution imaging without satellite slowing. No light spreading due to blooming. Very long multispectral stripe filters Assembly of a single substrate with 4 stripe filters over the detector window Separate the different spectral bands in the FOV. Minimize chromatic aberrations Highly integrated detection unit Integrated focal plane and video electronics. Highly integrated ASIC technology Compact detection function integrated in the camera Telescope Carbon / carbon structure and light-weighted Zerodur optics Low mass/high thermal stability, highly polished mirror surfaces Optical assembly: The instrument employs a Korsch all-reflective 4 mirrors telescope design with TMA (Three Mirror Anastigmatic) optics. An additional plane mirror (MR) is used to enhance the instrument compactness. The imaging geometry optimization features a primary mirror size of 650 mm diameter, which suits well to the detectors performance and the orbit characteristics. The instrument architecture chosen is organized around a central plane structure supporting the primary mirror, the tertiary mirror, the plane mirror (MR), and a central cylinder that supports the secondary mirror. The optical assembly consists of an on-axis part (M1 + M2 collector mirrors) and an off-axis part (M3 + MR mirrors) feeding the different focal planes. The optics system of the instrument uses state-of-the-art techniques such as SiC-100 (silicon carbide) material for the mirrors and the telescope structure, specific detectors, and a modular video chain design. EADS Sodern is responsible for the development of the FPA. The FPA is offering a wide variety of new technologies for the imaging function. The size of the observed image is close to 400 mm and is analyzed in 30,000 samples in Pan and 7,500 in MS.. The focal plane assembly consists of two symmetrical arrangements of Pan and MS detectors. The beam splitter is made of a set of mirrors. The spectral selection is made by optical filters placed very close in front of the detectors. Pan filters and MS stripe line filters are space-qualified multi-layer coatings deposited on glass substrates. Each filter is composed of a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter. An absorbing material deposited between the MS filters isolates each band from the others to avoid interband straylight. Attitude sensors (star tracker heads and gyroscope heads) are placed on this central instrument structure to improve the performance. A dedicated supporting truss structure ensures the instrument interface with respect to the bus. The detector thermal radiator has its own supporting structure. The instrument design employs carbon material for the structure (the carbide characteristics are: very low coefficient of thermal expansion, very low density, resulting in a light telescope, and a simple thermal control) and Zerodur material for the mirrors. The instrument focus mechanism is placed onto the tertiary mirror. This position offers an optimum between mechanism and accuracy. The instrument includes also an internal shutter to protect it from sun radiation in non-operational phases such as launch, attitude acquisition, or safe modes. The shutter is placed behind the primary mirror to protect only the tertiary mirror and the detection cavity.

• 06b0df5e-b0fd-48df-a1bc-66e5a3c86f6f definition "The MSFC magnetograph was developed in the early 1970s and has been operating as a vector system since 1976 in support of NASA space missions (Solar Maximum Mission and Spacelab), rocket and balloon experiments, and joint ground-based observations. The magnetograph consists of a symmetric 30-cm Cassegrain system which has a field of view of 6 x 6 arc-min giving an effective pixel size of 2.8 x 2.8 arc- sec in the 2 x 2 pixel-binning mode of the CCD camera. The absorption line Fe I 5250.2 is selected by a Zeiss birefringent filter (FWHM = 0.125A). The polarimeter consists of quarter-wave plates, a KD*P electro-optical modulator, and an analyzer provided by the sheet polarizers in the Zeiss filter. The resulting magnetic field sensitivities are 5 and 125 G in the line-of-sight and transverse components, respectively, with a temporal cadence of 5 min. The Zeiss filter can be tuned +/- 8 Angstroms about the Fe I 5250.2 line. This allows the three Fe I lines at 5247.0, 5250.2, and 5250.6 to be selected for performing flux tube analyses. Information on the method of calibration used for the interpretation of MSFC vector magnetograph data can be found in NASA TM-4048, 'The SAMEX Vector Magnetograph - A Design Study for a Space- Based Solar Vector Magnetograph' (M. J.Hagyard, G. A. Gary, and E. A. West, 1988). The capabilities of the MSFC vector magnetograph were extended in September 1989 by the addition of a coaligned H-alpha telescope with a CCD camera. This telescope was the engineering-backup model of the Skylab ATM H-alpha 1 telescope. The system is a 17-cm Cassegrain which feeds a Fabry-Perot filter with a 0.7 A bandpass. The H-alpha system provides video images of chromosphe- ric activity that are cospatial and cotemporal with the vector magnetograms. Research programs carried out with the coaligned instruments include studies of magnetic morphology, evaluation of magnetic shear at flare sites, calculation of vertical electric currents, analysis of magnetic field submergence/emergence, studies of magnetic canopies, evaluation of magnetic energy, coronal field extrapolations, Stokes profile analysis, and the study of magneto-optical effects. Because the MSFC magnetograph is a dedicated system, the MSFC team can observe each day that weather permits. The observational data are reported in: 'The MSFC Solar Observatory Report,' (published twice a year and distributed to the solar community).
