Tiny cameras capture Lake Superior

These two shots of Lake Superior and its surrounding area represent the first data associated with CUMULOS cameras from CubeSat

These two snapshots of Lake Superior and its surrounding area represent the first data associated with the CUMULOS cameras from CubeSat. The frame on the left was made with a short-wave infrared camera and captured a large area of ​​the lake, demonstrating a strong contrast between land and water bodies. The narrower field of view of the image on the right is made by a long-wave infrared camera. It indicates the difference in water temperature between the center of the lake and the water in the bays and valleys. CUMULOS tests the performance of commercial sensors for flight and environmental monitoring. The cameras are designed for point visualization and ensure almost simultaneous coverage of the earth from an orbital altitude of 452 km.

CUMULOS - demonstration of an experimental payload on NASA's integrated solar and reflex antenna (ISARA), operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Pasadena, California)
