Title: Utilization of Multi Radar Data Sets with Advanced Data Fusion Techniques. Exploitation of RADAR data sets using InSAR technology to measure heave and subsidence has been proven but frequency and resolution differences between the satellites has meant that the archives have always been processed separately and could not be combined, thus limiting the potential to track change over the life of multi missions. The objective of this project is to combine ERS, Envisat, R1/R2, Sentinel and X-band data in the InSAR domain.

Title: Development and Demonstration of Capability to re-Project and Merge Optical Data to Fully Calibrated Slant Range SAR. Application specialists who wish to combine radar and optical data face the dilemma of deciding how to co-register their data prior to merging or integration. The traditional approach to merging radar data with optical data is to convert the radar data to a nominal projection, followed by a second correction for topographic effects. This approach has a number of disadvantages. The main drawback is caused by the modification of the original data due to resampling and re-projection. In this proposal, we propose a methodology by which SAR data can be calibrated for slope effects, followed by a mapping of the optical data into the geometry of the SAR data. This procedure enables the combination of optical data with unaltered SAR data, in the belief that merging optical data with radiometrically scaled and phase preserved SAR data will significantly improve classification results.

ManitobaSAT-1 will study how space conditions affect the composition of asteroids and the Moon so that researchers on Earth can better understand those effects when studying meteorites. This mission will also help better understand the origins of asteroids when the data will be combines with the data from asteroid sample-return missions, such as the OSIRIS-Rex mission.

ManitobaSAT-1 will be developed in collaboration with the University of Winnipeg, York University, Interlake School Division, and Magellan Aerospace.
