The objective of this project was to study the applicability of Linear Variable Filter (LVF) technology in Earth Observation instruments, and to extend their wavelength range. The hope was that this technology might enable the design of a miniaturised gas detection instrument suitable for CubeSats. Three applications were examined with wavelengths...
Volcanic ash presents a challenge for the aviation industry. Volcanic ash is semi-transparent, absorbing in the 8-12 micron window. 3D information is needed to be able to back-calculate dose – this is a key parameter in managing airspace. To recreate the ash cloud, multiangle observations are required – making a nadir-pointing satellite ideal to pe...
Previous research has indicated that it is theoretically possible to detect chemical warfare agents, such as sarin and sulphur mustard from space. However, this analysis showed that limitations with spatial resolution mean that the likelihood of real-time detection of chemical warfare agents was low. This leads to this idea for a satellite mission...
CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) threats are becoming more prevalent, as more entities gain access to modern weapons and industrial technologies and chemicals. This has produced a need for improvements to modelling, detection, and monitoring of these events. While there are currently no dedicated satellites for CBRN purposes,...
