As industries continue to put an excessive amount of green gases into the atmosphere causing the rise of sea level, EnduroSat anounced that it has joined CubeSat Constellation for Climate Change, CC4CC to demonstrate the feasibility of establishing a CubeSat constellation to provide regular daily measurements for Sea Level Rise (SLR), thereby lowering the cost and increasing the frequency and quality of remote sensing data.
In search of solutions, EnduroSat joined forces with the University of Nottingham, UFO – Innovation boosted by Small Flying Objects, and GeoVentures.
CC4CC will design and develop a Small Flying Object (SFO) CubeSat Constellation in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to obtain daily measurements of global and regional changes in Sea Level Rise. CC4CC will determine the orbital parameters and characteristics of the CubeSat constellation to ensure optimal coverage and revisit time.
The project will focus on the development and integration of a novel Ka-band communication system, which will provide the near-real time transmission of sea level rise data at higher resolutions than existing solutions and will bring CubeSats into common and affordable use for Sea Level Rise.
The main project objective is to assess the feasibility of developing a constellation of multiple CubeSats and receive daily measurements of the Sea level in smaller coastal areas, primarily in vulnerable regions.
