So far most of the emitters of terahertz waves have been able to operate only in lab conditions. Terahertz waves are located between the infrared spectrum and microwave rays. Scientists all over the world are working to create a universal and convenient source of terahertz waves or quantum cascade lasers.
Belarusian scientists design spectral radiometer for space satellites
MINSK, 26 April (BelTA) – Scientists of the Belarusian State University have designed a unique device for studying Earth s atmosphere from the outer space. The three-band spectral radiometer MSR-09 is designed to be mounted on nano satellites in order to study the content of trace gases in Earth s troposphere by measuring solar radiation absorbance spectrum, the university s press service told BelTA.
The spectrometer uses three sensors that focus on different optical bands. They register diffuse solar radiation that passes through layers of the atmosphere in the vertical direction and the horizontal one. The vertical scheme of solar radiation input allows studying the quantity of gases and aerosols while the horizontal one examines their distribution in the atmosphere. The collected data is stored in a microcontroller and beamed down to Earth s surface for further processing.
Belarus State University scientists develop unique complex for remote sensing of Earth 21 January 2021 12:20 Share in:
MINSK. KAZINFORM – Scientists of the Belarusian State University (BSU) have developed a unique complex for the remote observation of Earth s surface. The Multiscan system is designed to collect and analyze data about reflection spectrums, the temperature, and the location of objects. The system can be carried by various aerial vehicles such as aircraft, helicopters, and drones, the university s press service told BelTA. Related news
The Multiscan system can be used in various branches of the national economy. It can be used to monitor fires, floods, and oil spills. The system can also be used to project in advance rising temperatures in peat lands and prevent a fire by alerting the relevant authorities. The system can track the state of meliorated lands and detect unauthorized quarries and dump sites.
