VH-RODA 2023

Aresys participated in the Very High-resolution Radar & Optical Data Assessment (VH-RODA) 2023 Workshop was held in ESA-ESRIN, Frascati, Italy, from 27 – 30 November 2023. In quality of responsible of non-ESA SAR missions‘ quality assessment, we presented the results achieved in the framework of the Earthnet Data Assessment Project (EDAP+). To read more about the project: https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/activities/edap.  
 
We were also glad to introduce to the SAR community the SAR Calibration Toolbox (SCT), an open-source tool developed by Aresys and funded by ESA, that will allow users to perform multi-mission SAR cal/val and quality analyses. The tool will be released to the public in April 2024. We are happy to contribute to the definition of standards in the SAR data quality assessment for both space agencies and new space missions.

8th International BioGeoSAR Workshop

Aresys participated at the 8th International BioGeoSAR Workshop organized by Sapienza Università di Roma and European Space Agency – ESA in Rome.

The workshop was foucused on SAR applications to address real-life topics for society. Francesco Banda, our SAR Scientist, exposed recent developments on BIOMASS processing to generate forest products, whereas professor Stefano Tebaldini from Politecnico di Milano presented a new distributed tomography concept for snow mapping, developed in collaboration with Aresys.

Italian Aerospace Mission

What a great journey! From October 23 to 27 Davide D’Aria, Aresys CEO, and Fabio Gerace, our Business Development Manager, took part in the Italian Aerospace Mission. From SpaceX and Rocket Lab‘s next-generation rockets, through Virgin Galactic‘s spaceflights concepts and up to the moon with Axiom Space‘s lunar exploration innovations. Without missing a must-see visit to the iconic NASA’s JPL and JSC headquarters.
 
We would like to thank again Agenzia Spaziale Italiana and ITA Houston – Italian Trade Agency for this great opportunity and to the selected excellence of the Italian aerospace industry that was our fellow traveler. We come back home, with strengthen links to our national space industries and institutions and a renewed impulse to innovate and push forward our technologies.

HPC Industry Summit

High Performance Computing coupled with AI techniques allow to monitor water reservoirs from space. Have a look to the smart monitoring tool based on ESA Sentinel-2 optical images that Paolo Mazzucchelli, our manager of HPC and geophysical solutions, presented at the HPC industry Summit in Berlin, from October 18th to 19th.

Committee on Earth Observation Satellites Synthetic Aperture Radar Workshop 2023 (CEOS SAR WGCV 2023)

Committee on Earth Observation Satellites Synthetic Aperture Radar Workshop 2023 (CEOS SAR WGCV 2023) took place from Monday October 16th to Wednesday October 18th 2023 at DLR premises in Oberpfaffenhofen. Andrea Recchia, SAR Engineering Services, and Beatrice Mai, SAR Data Processing and Calibration Engineer, had the opportunity to meet many colleagues having the chance to attend many interesting talks on SAR data calibration and validation activities. “We were glad to contribute to the conference talking about the Sentinel-1 calibration activities that Aresys performs as part of the SAR Mission Performance Cluster (MPC)”, Recchia comments.

Aresys 20th Anniversary party

For its first 20 years, Aresys held an anniversary party on July 6, involving all of our employees and partners.

It was a moment of joy and sharing in which we retraced the highlights of our history and presented what will be the future challenges.
