On December 14, 2023 a new NL-RIA project was kicked off, entitled “AltiCube – A Dutch CubeSat radar altimetry instrument”. The proposal for this work was approved by NSO after a positive peer review. In an earlier post “Alticube proposal submitted” some details about the project goal were explained. The …
Peter Hoogeboom, emeritus professor Radar Remote Sensing of TU Delft gave a shortcourse on radar altimetry to those who were interested and involved in NL-RIA’s activities to realize a constellation of cubesat-based radar altimeters. The course started off with the properties and operating principles of altimeters and gradually deepened into …
Robin radar is a newcomer in the world of spaceborne radar. Due to their possible involvement in the realization of new radar hardware for cubesat style satellites, a short introductory course on small satellites was given by Dr. Jian Guo of TU Delft during a preparatory meeting. Several NL-RIA members …
On 28 May 2020 a meeting was planned by NSO with the presently active knowledge networks. Unfortunately the meeting had to be postponed for unknown period due to the corona virus. For NL-RIA this would have been a wonderful occasion to demonstrate our progress and good cooperative spirit, slightly more …
