PRISMA

Prisma has a reporting form for bolide sightings available on their website.

The IRIDE SAR and optical satellites feature sophisticated operating modes to support high revisit rates and to allow integration of IRIDE data with existing or future programs including COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation, Prisma, and the EU Copernicus program.

The agreement aims to develop advanced integrated environmental monitoring actions using Italian satellite constellations such as the hyperspectral satellite PRISMA, the advanced radar systems of COSMO-SkyMed, and the new IRIDE constellation.

Avio has four Vega launches planned in 2019: the Italian Space Agency’s PRISMA satellite, the ESA-supported SSMS adaptor proof-of-concept flight, and the launches of the United Arab Emirates’ Falcon Eye 1 and Falcon Eye 2 satellites.

OHB Italia built the 879-kilogram PRISMA satellite with Italian aerospace and defense company Leonardo supplying the electro-optical payload, solar panels, and power supply unit.

Arianespace had planned four Vega launches for the year, with the first Vega launch occurring on 2019-03-21 carrying the Italian Space Agency’s PRISMA satellite.

The PRISMA hyperspectral imaging satellite was built by OHB Italia with an imaging payload from Leonardo and launched on an Italian Vega rocket in March.

Leonardo provided the PRISMA hyperspectral instrument currently in orbit and will build a higher-performance hyperspectral payload for PRISMA SG.

PRISMA, launched by ASI in 2019, has a hyperspectral sensor with 239 bands at ~30 m resolution and a 5 m panchromatic channel.
