Below we introduce some of the significant projects in Remote Sensing Department. The projects help to monitor the vegetation, atmosphere, and water bodies of our home planet, ranging from global photosynthesis to assessing the quality of water bodies. Our Hypstar spectrometers operate in diverse environments, including ice fields, tropical regions, and desert expanses.
The objective of the Copernicus Cal/Val Solution (CCVS) is to define a holistic solution for all Copernicus Sentinel missions (either operational or planned) to overcome current limitations of Calibration and Validation (Cal/Val) activities.
