Earth Remote Sensing Research Projects
The ERS center has research opportunities from a range of programs such as Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programs (UROP), EECS SuperUROP, graduate Research Assistantships (RAs), and internships. For more information, please contact Prof. Kerri Cahoy.
Past Research Projects
Project MicroMAS (June 2011 – Sept. 2014)Lincoln Laboratory - William J. Blackwell A collaboration between MIT Lincoln Laboratory, MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and University of Massachusetts (Amherst) Department of Radio Astronomy led to the design, integration, environmental test, launch, and on-orbit operation of a 3U atmospheric satellite for severe weather monitoring. |

Potential Future Projects
Project MiRaTA (Sept. 2014)Lincoln Laboratory - William J. Blackwell The Microwave Radiometer Technology Acceleration (MiRaTA) 3U CubeSat T will validate new ultra-compact and low-power technology for CubeSat-sized microwave radiometers operating near 52-58, 175-191, and 206-208 GHz. This project will also validate new GPS receiver and antenna array technology necessary for CubeSat tropospheric radio occultation sounding and test a new approach to radiometer calibration using concurrent GPS radio occultation (GPSRO) measurements. |
