Space missions and technologies
NOVELTIS takes part in the design, development and valorisation of many Earth Observation space missions (the main ones of which are listed below).
NOVELTIS contributions and support are based on high-level skills and expertise in geophysics and environmental science, measurement physics, and various Earth Observation techniques and instruments (sounding and optical, lidar, radar imaging).
