Last week, our Giacomo and Andrea attended the 3rd Aerospace PhD Days organised by AIDAA, and held in Bertinoro, presenting the work of their PhD research. The conference was an excellent opportunity to get to know, share and discuss with PhD students from other universities working in the aerospace fileds.
Are you curious about the modelling of a distributed L-band radiometer and its link to relative motion? Last week Cristina Erbeia presented her thesis work, developed under the supervision of our Camilla Colombo and Francesca Scala, at the Pegasus Student Conference 2023 in Rome.
The new paper published in IEEE TGRS by Manuel Martin-Neira and co-authored by Francesca Scala, Camilla Colombo, ESA and Airbus D&S proposes an innovative mission concept, TriHex, to achieve high spatial and radiometric resolution for passive L-band application, approaching user needs beyond SMOS and SMAP missions.
