Description
MARTIC (Middle Atmsophere Rayleigh Temperature Instruments Constellation) is a future innovative small satellites constellation, which aims to measure the middle atmosphere temperature from the middle stratosphere to the upper mesosphere. The accurate knowledge of the atmospheric vertical temperature profile and its temporal variation remains a topic of considerable scientific and societal importance. These measurements are of strategic interest for a large number of environmental, aeronautical and space applications. We are looking to set up a unique service, which provides atmospheric density and temperature vertical profiles data in near real time with a full Earth coverage and an excellent revisit time. The first step is to develop a small in-orbit demonstration satellite to provide early flight access to our promising and disruptive innovation system to measure fundamental atmospheric parameters.
