Hyperspectral Imaging to Characterize Dust Emissions at the Kluane Lake and Novel Fault-Tolerant Radiation Dosimetry Study (3U)
FY 2017-18 · 2018-03-29
Summary
Concordia's CHIRad-Sat will test an imaging instrument to collect data on dust measurements and will study the effect of climate change in the Kluane Lake region. The CubeSat will also evaluate the viability of a new electronic component that shows better resistance to the harsh conditions of space and that could improve the cost-effectiveness and performance of future CubeSat computers.
CHIRad-Sat will be developed in collaboration with the Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble (France), the University of Montreal and Let's Talk Science. Industrial participation such as Quebec-based MDA, MPB Communications, Ontarian-based Mission Control Space Services, Kalray S.A. (France), Spectrum Aerospace Group (Germany), will additionally collaborate with Concordia University.

Description (French)
Le projet CHIRad-Sat de Concordia permettra de tester un imageur pour mesurer les poussières atmosphériques et étudier l'effet des changements climatiques dans la région du lac Kluane. De plus, le CubeSat permettra d'évaluer la viabilité d'un nouveau composant électronique qui montre une meilleure résistance aux conditions difficiles de l'espace et qui pourrait améliorer la rentabilité et la performance des futurs ordinateurs de CubeSats.
CHIRad-Sat sera réalisé en collaboration avec l'Institut polytechnique de Grenoble en France, l'Université de Montréal, et Parlons sciences. Des entreprises privées comme les compagnies québécoises MDA et MPB Communications, la compagnie ontarienne Mission Control Space Services, la compagnie française Kalray S.A. et allemande Spectrum Aerospace Groupe collaboreront avec l'Université de Concordia dans la construction du CubeSat.
