Call for Membership of the Envision EuroSAR Science Team

[J. Miguel Mas-Hesse]

Hola, 

ante la posibilidad de que NASA no pueda proporcionar el instrumento VenSAR para la misión Envision, dedicada al estudio de Venus, la ESA ha puesto en marcha el desarrollo de un radar de apertura sintética que pudiera reemplazarlo, el denominado EuroSAR. Os mando la convocatoria que acaba de publicar ESA para formar parte del equipo científico que coordinaría el desarrollo de este instrumento. 

Saludos

J. Miguel Mas Hesse

PS. Copio un párrafo resumen de la convocatoria: 

The current call for membership of the Envision EuroSAR Science Team (EST) aims to establish a team of scientists to assist ESA and the Envision Science Working Team (SWT) regarding Venus SAR imaging, altimetry and radiometry in support of the EuroSAR definition. Should EuroSAR replace VenSAR, the team will continue to offer scientific expertise during subsequent EuroSAR phases, thereby maintaining continuity and preserving knowledge. The EST will comprise leading scientists specialising in Venus, planetary, and/or Earth SAR, altimetry, and radiometry signal processing, retrieval, and data exploitation for the EuroSAR instrument application areas required by Envision’s science objectives.
