Operational EO Data Processors

BIOMASS Processing Suite (BPS)

BPS is the operational SAR processor for the ESA P-Band BIOMASS mission

Inthe framowk of this activity Aresys is in charge of:

• Supporting the scientific algorithms definition

• Designing and developing of the operational processing suite (ongoing)

• Designing and developing the Biomass Tool Kit (ongoing)

Sentinel-1 IPF

Since early S-1 design phase Aresys supported the development of the mission SAR processor (called IPF). Our main responsibilities:

• Scientific algorithms definition

• Support to development and validation

• IPF maintenance and evolution (ongoing)

COSMO SKY-MED Processors

COSMO SKY-MED (CSK) is the ‘dual-use’ X-Band SAR mission financed by ASI and by the Italian Ministry of Defence. It is one of the leading SAR contellations at global level.

In 2023 Aresys acquired the EO branch of Innova, inheriting its 20 years long heritage in CSK SAR processors development.

SAOCOM-1 SSP

SAOCOM is an Earth Observation L-Band SAR satellite constellation of Argentina’s space agency CONAE

Aresys supported the mission since early phases. The support included the development of the operational SAOCOM SAR Processor (SSP) currently operated in Cordoba Ground Segment

CryoSat PF

ESA’s Earth Explorer CryoSat mission is dedicated to measuring the thickness of polar sea ice and monitoring changes in the ice sheets that blanket Greenland and Antarctica. Its main payload is a SAR Interferometric Radar Altimeter.

Aresys is currently maintaining and evolving the mission Processing Facility
