2 Motivation Climate change is the biggest challenge facing humanity in its whole history Dr. Mario Molina, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1995 Green Economy Latin American Congress, Córdoba, Argentina Dec /03/2017 Glacier SOS 2

3 Sentinels of Climate Change 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 3

4 Numer of papers Is there Scientific Consensus? From: SCOPUS Database cl. change cl. change AND glacier cl. change AND remote sensing cl. change AND glacier AND remote sensing Total papers =245, Total papers = 5, Year 1987 Total papers = /03/2017 Glacier SOS 4

5 Glaciers spread across the Globe glaciers distributed around the globe. Source: GLIMS database 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 5

6 Although Poorly Monitored Source: World Glacier Monitoring Services 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 6

7 Data from 40 Reference Glaciers Source: Global Cryosphere Watch 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 7

8 Difficult Field Campaigns From: IANIGLIA/CONICET (Glaciar de los Tres, Argentina) 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 8

9 Can data be Uploaded to S/C? Upload to spacecrafts Autonomous Power Solar radiation Wind Speed Size of a DCP acquisition including auxiliary data = 40 bytes.. Frame rate for uploading a DCP frame to the satellite = 400 b / s Maximum uploading time = 1 [s]. Collect & Store Data Humidity Rain Black Carbon 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 9

10 Glacier SOS Proposal The main objective is to provide a continuous, long-term, responsive, adaptive, scalable and cost-effective Glacier Segmented Observation System (SOS) in order to provide information on a global scale, with high revisit time and under homogeneous conditions for studies related to: Climate change, Glacier meteorology, Black carbon deposition on glaciers, Mass balance and glacier dynamics assessment. Mission Architect: Carlos Barrientos (CONAE) Principal Investigators: Anabella Ferral (CONAE) y Leandro Cara (CONAE) Segmented Architecture: Juan Fraire (UNC/UGA), Pablo Ferreyra (UNC) 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 10

11 System Requirements R.01 The system shall provide uninterrupted, continuous service to users for a life span of at least 30 years. R.02 The system shall be cost-effective, based on the use of standard commercial off the shelf (COTS). R.05 The system shall have on site sensors in order to gather and upload to the system the following information: (1) Meteorology data. (2) Black carbon deposition data. (3) Mass displacement data. R.06 The system shall have a number of sensors on board the flight segments in order to: (1) Acquire High-Resolution images and (2) Store and forward data from other sensors that are part of the system. 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 11

12 System Requirements R.03 The System shall address the full extension of glaciers geographical distribution in latitudes from -80 to +80 degrees. R.04 The system shall gather reflectance information from different glaciers under homogeneous conditions in terms of ground resolution, swath and sunlight incidence angle. R.07 The system shall be protected to technological obsolescence and shall adapt to new emerging technologies in remote sensing, sensor devices and communications R.08 The system shall have updated information of glaciers on a global scale and with a revisit time of not less than 24 hours. R.09 The system shall have a scientific scope generating glaciers monitoring data and related value-added products, available to the scientific community in a regular basis. 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 12

13 On ground Segments On ground Segments Modules located on glaciers for collecting scientific data Module located on ground to provide a data-relay functionality 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 13

14 Flight Segments Inter Satellite Link (ISL) network Flight Segments 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 14

15 Flight Segment C C&DH Link with Other S/C Actuators Orb. Determ & Attitude Control Electrical Power Link with Ground Station Sensors 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 15

16 Proposed Orbital Scenario N = 8 Satellite clusters over sun-synchronous Km. M = 3 nodes clusters. Intra-cluster coms: permanent (ISLdist = 100Km) Inter-cluster coms: sporadic (over the pole) Cluster formation: M N M (+func. and reliabl.) N (+cov. and revisit) #A: Data collection system #B: Multi spectral camera (Black carbon) & displacement detector #C: HS Down Link (coms with ground) 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 16

17 Ground Tracks 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 17

18 Inter-Cluster Contact Windows /03/2017 Glacier SOS 18

19 Contact Opportunities Assuming ISL can work at 500 Km (low data-rate) Inter-cluster coms: sporadic (over the pole) 24 hs 2 hs Intra-cluster coms: permanent (ISLdist=100Km) All #A:, #B: and #C: can talk to the other trains via the ISL 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 19

24 Snow Albedo Simulations From: SNICAR Model bands atmospheric windows MS Camera Bands 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 24

25 System Structure System Control focused on maintaining the satellite constellation alive focused on science data & applications 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 25

26 Mission Center Generating value-added products Scheduling science operations Storing products Technical support, policies and regions of interest Getting raw data Portal for browsing, requesting & retrieving data Distributing Products 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 26

27 Control Center Format commands & Process telemetry plan new acquisitions Evaluate orbital param. preserve the flight segments state-of-health process collision alerts send commands to the flight segments 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 27

28 Conclusions Lifetime. 30+ years horizon necessary for longitudinal data-series of glaciers variables. Revisit. Depending on the number of clusters, global glacier data could be gathered on an hourly basis. Upgradability. New type of sensors or technological advances added by simply launching a new segment. Scalability. Reliability (and revisit time) of the system could be improved by means of the network size. Cost/benefit. The use of CubeSats allows for a lowcost platform and launch (at least for initial clusters). 08/03/2017 Glacier SOS 28
