Title:
Hyperspectral Imaging to Characterize Dust Emissions at the Kluane Lake and Novel Fault-Tolerant Radiation Dosimetry Study (3U)
Agreement Number:
17CCPCON05
Agreement Value:
$220,200.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 29, 2018 - Mar 31, 2024
Description:
Concordia's CHIRad-Sat will test an imaging instrument to collect data on dust measurements and will study the effect of climate change in the Kluane Lake region. The CubeSat will also evaluate the viability of a new electronic component that shows better resistance to the harsh conditions of space and that could improve the cost-effectiveness and performance of future CubeSat computers.
CHIRad-Sat will be developed in collaboration with the Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble (France), the University of Montreal and Let's Talk Science. Industrial participation such as Quebec-based MDA, MPB Communications, Ontarian-based Mission Control Space Services, Kalray S.A. (France), Spectrum Aerospace Group (Germany), will additionally collaborate with Concordia University.
