The emergence of new types of spacecraft based on standardised modules that re-use the basic parts of the spacecraft such attitude control and communications have enabled exciting new types of low-cost (<£2.5M) planetary science missions by tightly integrating a remote sensing instrument and spacecraft. Based on the "Cubesat" standard there are now numerous examples of remote sensing spacecraft to provide rapid observations of the Earth as well as for planetary science, including targeted measurements of the Moon and Mars. However, longer wavelengths of light in the thermal infrared that are typically used in atmospheric science and for geological mapping remain to be exploited using these novel, new spacecraft. This project will take a recent mission study led by AOPP to use a cubesat for atmospheric aerosol monitoring and thermal imaging and optimise the instrument concept for planetary science applications, consider the performance trade-offs necessary from using "standard" cubesat components and then develop an instrument breadboard for further performance testing.

基于标准化模块的新型航天器的出现重新使用了航天器的基本部件，如姿态控制和通信，通过将遥感仪器和航天器紧密集成，实现了令人兴奋的新型低成本（<250万英镑）行星科学任务。根据“立方体卫星”标准，现在有许多遥感航天器的例子，可提供对地球的快速观测以及行星科学，包括对月球和火星的有针对性的测量。然而，通常用于大气科学和地质测绘的热红外线中较长波长的光仍然有待于使用这些新颖的新航天器来开发。该项目将利用AOPP最近牵头的一项使命研究，使用立方体卫星进行大气气溶胶监测和热成像，优化行星科学应用的仪器概念，考虑使用“标准”立方体卫星组件所需的性能权衡，然后开发仪器试验板，用于进一步的性能测试。
