SPACE - Presentation
Our company significantly contributes to the development of new Earth Observation missions, whether related to the atmosphere, oceans or land surfaces.
We are a well-known partner of space agencies, industries and research institutions, and we offer top-level expertise in environment modelling and processing of geophysical observations. NOVELTIS thus helps design tomorrow’s space missions, and valorises current ones.
NOVELTIS’ range of services includes:
- Preliminary studies of new mission concepts;
- Development and exploitation of end-to-end simulators;
- Specification and analysis of the performance of observation instruments and space missions;
- Design and development of geophysical products derived from such missions;
- Validation of observation products and mission calibration.
NOVELTIS’ added value lies in the synergy between its expertise in space science and technology, and its skills in environmental science and its applications.
NOVELTIS plays a significant part in the preparation of future missions or innovative measurement concepts in various domains of Earth Observation:
NOVELTIS plays a significant part in the preparation of future missions or innovative measurement concepts in various domains of Earth Observation:
- Meteorology and atmospheric sounding with IASI-NG and MTG/IRS;
- Atmospheric chemistry and air quality with Sentinel-4 and Sentinel-5;
- Climate and greenhouse gases with GOSAT and Microcarb;
- Oceanography and continental hydrology with AltiKa, Sentinel-3 and SWOT;
- Ocean biogeochemistry and vegetation with multispectral and hyperspectral programmes such as SPECTRA and HypXim;
- Glaciology with observing techniques such as P-band ground penetrating radars or lidars.
Since its creation, NOVELTIS has been deeply involved in the implementation and exploitation of atmospheric sounding space missions such as IASI.
We have been or are taking part in Jason-1 and Jason-2 altimetry missions, MERIS data processing development for vegetation measurement, and GRACE (measurement of the Earth gravity field).
