Leonardo Space’s Post

🛰️ One year after the launch of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's PACE mission, Leonardo celebrates the success of its Ocean Color Instrument detectors, built in Southampton. These detectors are helping deliver unprecedented data on phytoplankton, enabling scientists to better understand ocean health, air quality and climate change. Leonardo Space Programme Manager, Matthew Hicks, said: “There are so many firsts in this programme. This is the first time that we’ve had such detailed measurement of our whole global ecosystem at once. The first time that we’ve received transmissions of this data every 1 to 2 days. The first time that we’ve had a level of detection in such granular detail that it is equivalent to seeing 256 colours instead of the previous 8. The fact that core technology is built here in Southampton is an immense source of pride for our engineers and scientists.” Learn More: http://lnrdo.co/40vITdw
