A FLEXIBLE ALTERNATIVE

A hyperspectral sensor under development, still at an early stage of technological maturity (low TRL), is being taken on board a Zephalto flight to be tested in near-space conditions. Thanks to optimised stabilisation and a direct connection with the on-board operator, the sensor’s parameters can be adjusted in real time to improve its performance. This approach allows for accelerated validation before deployment in orbit, while offering an agile and flexible alternative to traditional space tests.
