HYPER-500 can distinguish signals related to biomass and the chemical composition of plant canopies.
DSI Aerospace participates in ESA missions including MetOp-SG, JUICE, Biomass, FLEX, PLATO, and Hera.
The European Space Agency’s Biomass satellite was launched by Arianespace.
Biomass uses a P-band radar that can penetrate forest canopy and observe the internal structure of ecosystems.
Biomass uses an advanced radar to measure the amount of carbon stored in forests.
Biomass aims to estimate forest biomass and the carbon accumulated in it more accurately.
MEEO S.r.l. trains AI models on decades of satellite imagery to predict catastrophic natural events such as locust swarms in Africa and to estimate agricultural biomass production.
The partnership involves analyzing the distribution, biomass, water quality, and carbon sequestration of mangroves and seagrass beds in Indonesia using AI.
Kuva Space's technology aims to provide insights on species distribution, biomass, water quality, and carbon sequestration, which are critical for verifying blue carbon.
Multispectral imagery from PW6U can be used to track crop condition, estimate biomass, monitor forest health, and identify anomalies such as flooding, drought stress, or vegetation loss along infrastructure routes.
The INPE - ESA collaboration will help evaluate how Biomass provides insights into global forest carbon dynamics, particularly in the Amazon.
ESA, the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE), and the Brazilian Space Agency (AEB) collaborated to assess how to exploit Biomass' data.
The radar signal emitted by the Biomass satellite penetrates the entire forest layer and is scattered back by forest canopy elements.
The measured radar signal carries information about forest structure and can infer parameters such as forest biomass and height.
Muriel Pinheiro is ESA's Biomass Processor Development Manager.
Biomass is the first satellite to carry a P-band synthetic aperture radar capable of penetrating forest canopies to measure woody biomass.
The measurements taken by Biomass serve as a proxy for carbon storage, which is the mission's primary objective.
BIOMASS, an ESA Earth Explorer, tracks tropical forest carbon stocks with unprecedented accuracy.
HydroGNSS is a Scout mission developed to measure key climate variables such as soil moisture, wetlands, permafrost, and biomass.
HydroGNSS is a two-satellite mission that will use Global Navigation Satellite System reflectometry to measure soil moisture, wetlands, freeze-thaw state over permafrost, forest biomass, and other climate variables linked to the global water cycle.
