Abstract

The Copernicus programme is an Earth monitoring initiative led by the European Union (EU) and carried out in partnership with the EU Member States and the European Space Agency (ESA) established to fulfil the growing need amongst European policy-makers to access accurate and timely information services to better manage the environment, understand and mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure civil security. This subject of this proposal is the implementation of Phases B2/C/D/E1 of the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer mission (CIMR), one of new High Priority Candidate Missions (HPCM) of the Copernicus program.

Obiettivi

This project is part of the Copernicus Programme evolution (so-called "Copernicus Space Component Expansion"), i.e. the new missions that have been identified by the European Commission (EC) as priorities for implementation in the coming years for providing additional capabilities in support of current emerging user needs. The subject of the project is the full development (phases B2/C/D and E1) of one of these missions, namely the Passive Microwave Imaging Mission (CIMR). The main objective of the CIMR Mission is to provide high-spatial resolution microwave imaging radiometry measurements and derived products with at least daily revisit in the Polar Regions to address Copernicus user needs. The CIMR mission will complement the existing family of Copernicus satellites for observing Sea-Ice parameters.
