CAMPAIGNS

Learn about the ground-based, ship-borne, balloon-borne, and airborne campaigns and small satellite field experiments that validate orbiting ESA EO satellites and support future mission development.

  • AirQuantumGrav 2023

    2023

    The campaign collected data from airborne gravity campaigns AirQuantumGrav in Iceland and GreenQuantum in Greenland during summer 2023 using iMAR strapdown gravimeter and GIRAFE cold atom interferometer.

  • Cold atom gravimetry airborne campaign

    2017

    The Iceland flight campaign was the first ever attempted airborne gravity survey using cold atom matter-wave gravimetry.

  • PolarGap

    2015 - 2016

    The primary objective of the PolarGap campaign was to carry out an airborne gravity survey covering the southern polar gap of the gravity field mission GOCE, beyond the coverage of the GOCE orbit.

  • GWEX

    2016

    The aim of this study was to perform Gravity Wave (GW) observations with the airborne IRLI GLORIA on board of HALO. In this way for a first time 3-D tomographic reconstructions of mesoscale GW events in the lower stratosphere were taken.

  • DOMECair (GOCE)

    2013

    The airborne survey DOMECair 2013 and its instrumentation was designed to obtain calibration and validation data for two different satellite missions of ESA’s Earth Explorer mission, for satellites SMOS and GOCE.
