Geoscan and Tsinghua University have signed an agreement to develop joint space initiatives. The parties announced the cooperation during the X-Camp children's science camp.
As part of the partnership, the parties plan to initiate the deployment of a network of ground stations in China to receive satellite data in the UHF, S, L, and X bands. These facilities will be used for educational and scientific purposes, including research in the field of remote sensing of the Earth (ERS), the development of new data processing technologies, and their practical application.
The X-Camp children's science camp was organized with the support of Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School. The shift involved 80 schoolchildren from different regions of China who had passed a rigorous selection process. Geoscan experts gave them lectures on small satellites, ballistics, and the operation of ground stations, and also supervised their practical projects. Among the results of the shift are the concept of a drone-satellite for collecting space debris, methods for using meteorological data, and solutions for inter-satellite communications.
The stations created as part of the project will be able to receive information from spacecraft in a wide range of frequencies, which is critical for monitoring climate, analyzing natural resources, and preventing disasters. Participants will also focus on optimizing ERS data processing algorithms, which will improve the accuracy of forecasts and the speed of response to environmental changes.
