Funded Activity Summary
Advancing Antarctic science with a new high altitude platform capability. This project aims to address critical knowledge gaps in Antarctic science by engaging Australian scientists with the Australian aerospace industry to advance world-first high altitude scientific observations from a long-range stratospheric glider. The higher sensor resolution and adaptive mission planning of the glider at 20km altitude offers dramatic benefits over existing satellite platforms. The project will develop the sensor payload of the glider, targeting research into Antarctic sea ice, atmospheric processes and seal populations. The project will build Australia’s research and innovation capacity through support for new collaboration between Australia's Antarctic scientists, geospatial specialists and remote-sensing platform developers.Funded Activity Details
