Aeolus-2 will carry a new ultraviolet-laser Doppler lidar that can measure wind speed and direction from Earth’s surface up to 30 kilometres altitude.

The Aeolus-2 program marks the start of the industrial phase of a new service-oriented program for meteorology and atmospheric monitoring.

Airbus Defence and Space signed the initial contract with the European Space Agency for the design and construction of Aeolus-2.

Aeolus-2 will strengthen European Earth observation service continuity for operational meteorology and atmospheric research.

The Aeolus-2 agreement was signed at ESA’s ECSAT centre in Harwell, United Kingdom.

Airbus Defence and Space is the main industrial partner for Aeolus-2.

Aeolus-2 is intended to succeed the first European mission dedicated to wind sensing from space.

Aeolus-2 has a planned operational lifetime of 5.5 years.

Aeolus-2 will provide data to European meteorological services including the UK Met Office and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.

Aeolus-2 will take measurements every 0.01 seconds and provide complete global coverage within seven days.

Aeolus-2 will include a dedicated sensor for measuring atmospheric aerosols.

Aeolus-2 will operate in a 450-kilometre orbit, complete about 15 orbits per day, and deliver data to users within 120 minutes of the oldest measurement in each orbit.

The Defence Space Safety Program Manual Volume 1 establishes the framework for the Defence Space Safety Program.

DASA has established an internal regulator for Defence space safety.

DASA and the Australian Space Agency have memoranda of understanding intended to align safety regulation for Australian space activities across military and civilian sectors.

The Defence Space Safety Program is intended to help Defence meet legal and moral obligations while managing safety risks in space domain activities.

DASA expects a second volume of the Defence Space Safety Program Manual in December.

The Defence Space Safety Program recognises Defence compliance with statutory safety requirements related to space activities and Australia’s international treaty obligations.

Future releases of the Defence Space Safety Program manual are expected to cover space facilities, space launches, and space returns.

DASA said the manuals set expectations for Defence teams and industry providers supporting in-orbit operations.

The Defence Space Safety Program is being advanced through work with Space Command and the Australian Space Agency.

DASA said the first two volumes of the Defence Space Safety Program manual provide a regulatory framework for the safe conduct of space operations by Defence.

The Defence Aviation Safety Authority has published Volume 1 of the Defence Space Safety Program Manual.

The second volume of the Defence Space Safety Program Manual will include a regulations package intended to support the safe operation of Defence satellites and satellite payloads.
