Applying Digital Engineering across Space Mission Analysis and Design: Payload Design

Payloads are crucial for space missions, especially in observation. This webinar covers selecting sensors for wildfire detection and the importance of modeling payloads in their mission environment.

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:

Payloads are at the center of every space mission. A satellite’s main goal for observation missions is to collect and transmit data.

In this webinar, we will discuss how the mission affects the choice of payload(s). We will discuss electro-optical, infrared, and radar systems in the context of wildfire detection and observation missions. After selecting the right sensor for the mission, the detailed design process requires engineers to model the payload in its mission environment. We will discuss design considerations and glean valuable insights about performance earlier in the design process.
