Description:
Remote sensing of surface pressure and aerosol information are both relevant to a better climate understanding. In the project context of “Development and Validation of a Miniature Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrometer (MIFPS) Through Stratospheric Balloon Flight”, the intent is to design, develop, and validate an innovative instrument. A stratospheric balloon is identified as a highly effective platform for validating this instrument. It will then be ready for long-term climate observations from satellites.
The project also aims to foster the continuing development of a critical mass of researchers in Canada by providing a training ground for both the current and next generations of scientists and engineers. Moreover, it provides a unique opportunity for scientists and engineers to work closely together on a space mission, as well as future space missions.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research
and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the
future.
