英文摘要 | SAC-C is an international Earth observation satellite mission conceived as a partnership between CONAE and NASA, with additional support in instrumentation and satellite development from the Danish DSRI, the Italian ASI, the French CNES and the Brazilian INPE. A Delta 11 rocket successfully launched it on November 21st, 2000, from Vandenberg AFB, California, USA. There are ten instruments on board SAC-C, which perform different studies: the Multispectral Medium Resolution Scanner (MMRS), provided by CONAE, Argentina, helps in the studies about evaluation of desertification processes and their evolution in time (i.e., Patagonia, Argentina), to identify and predict agriculture production, to monitor flood areas and to make studies in coastal and fluvial areas. The MMRS is associated with a High Resolution Technological Camera (HRTC), also provided by CONAE, that help enhancing MMRS resolution in the areas required. A High Sensitivity Technological Camera (HSTC) is also included in the mission and provided by CONAE. SAC-C also carries instruments to monitor the condition and dynamics of the terrestrial and marine biosphere and environment (GPS OccuLtation and Passive reflection Experiment (GOLPE)) from NASA/JPL. The Magnetic Mapping Payload, (MMP) developed by the Danish Space Research Institute and JPL helps to better understand the Earth's magnetic field and related Sun-Earth interactions. Italian Star Tracker (IST) and Italian Navigation Experiment (INES) developed by the Italian Space Agency, constitute a technological payload that permits testing a fully autonomous system for attitude and orbit determination. Influence of space radiation on advanced components (ICARE), provided by CNES allows improvement of risk estimation models for radiation effect on last generation integrated circuit technology. On June 14th, 2000 CONAE and NASA signed an amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding for the SAC-C mission in order to include the SACC satellite in the "International Morning Constellation". This constellation is integrated by US satellites Landsat 7, EO I and Terra, and the Argentine SAC-C that feature on-board instruments from the United States, Argentina, Denmark, Italy, France, and Japan. The Constellation has been working since March 2001 as a single mission and several cooperative activities have been undertaken. In August 1998 and October 2000, CONAE issued an Announcement of Opportunities for the use of SAC-C, Landsat 7, EOI and Terra data. More than 200 projects from Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Chile, Spain and Italy were approved and are working since SAC-C launch. SAC-C mission and the AM constellation have a diverse instruments complement which addresses a number of important and relevant scientific themes, such as land use management; terrestrial ecology; coastal zone studies; solid earth science; atmospheric science; solar terrestrial interactions, among others. |
