Applications
- 15.9.1 Atmospheric Chemistry Research — Measuring the vertical and horizontal distribution of trace gases, aerosols and reactive species across the atmosphere to understand chemistry, climate feedbacks and pollution transport.
- 15.9.2 Ocean Biogeochemistry Research — Mapping ocean carbon uptake, nutrient cycles, phytoplankton dynamics and hypoxic zones from space using hyperspectral ocean-colour and lidar payloads.
- 15.9.3 Cryosphere Research — Measuring ice-sheet mass balance, sea-ice extent, glacier retreat and permafrost dynamics using radar altimetry, SAR and thermal infrared payloads on a sovereign satellite constellation.
- 15.9.4 Biosphere & Ecology Research — Monitoring vegetation health, biodiversity stress, carbon flux and ecosystem change across national territory using multi-spectral and hyperspectral satellite observations.
- 15.9.5 Geosphere & Solid-Earth Research — Measuring crustal deformation, gravity anomalies, seismic precursors and lithospheric dynamics from orbit to advance solid-Earth science and underpin national hazard intelligence.
