Exploring the Potential of Compressive Sensing Payloads for Earth Observation from Geostationary Platforms: An Instrumental Concept for Fire Monitoring Open
Earth observation (EO) payload performances in the infrared spectral region from geostationary platforms are often limited by spatial resolution. In this paper, we investigate an instrumental concept leveraging a compressive sensing paradi…

Proton-induced degradation of charge transfer efficiency on FLEX CCD detectors: measurement and impact on instrument performances Open
The exposure of Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD) to high-energy particles in space leads to a degradation of their performances. One of the observed mechanisms is the creation of defects in the CCD silicon lattice by displacement damage, induc…
