FEATURED PROJECTS
The HyTI (Hyperspectral Thermal Imager) is a technology demonstration mission by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa designed to demonstrate how high spatial resolution (60 m ground resolution element), high spectral resolution (25 bands) and long-wave infrared image data can be acquired to monitor water resources using a 6U CubeSat. HyTI will map irrigated and rainfed cropland, determine crop water use and establish crop water productivity of major world crops.
The Neutron-2 (N2) mission will focus on measuring neutrons in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) using a CubeSat(s) flying in a polar orbit. It will be flying the next generation of neutron detectors developed at Arizona State University (ASU) and it will leverage lessons learned from Neutron-1, launched by HSFL in 2020. We are working with the University Nanosatellite Program (UNP) to accomplish the goals of the Neutron-2 mission.
The Neutron-1 mission will measure low energy neutron flux in the low Earth orbit (LEO) environment in efforts to gather new science data. The data gathered by a 3U CubeSat platform can contribute to understanding the complex relationship between Earth and Sun through mapping neutron abundances LEO. In combination with data obtained by other spacecraft and ground-based measurement stations, we will evaluate the variability of galactic cosmic radiation as a function of solar variability.
