WATER-HM activities:CNES programmatic status Prepared by Eric Thouvenot & Pascale Ultré-Guérard Direction for Strategy and Programs - CNES
Phase E Déméter Jason SPOT, Végétation Parasol, Calipso Iasi/Metop Phases C/D Jason-2 (juin 2008) Smos (nov 2008) Megha-Tropiques (2009) Pléiades (2009) Vénms (2010) : pb de filtres SARAL/Altika (2009-2010) Swarm (2010) Phase A SIFTI SWIM/CFOSAT Earth observation programme (multilateral) WATER-HM workshop, Paris, 01/02/08
Pre-Phase A 2007- 2008 • MTG • Vegetation-Gap Filler with ESA/DTEC and Belgium • Water/SWOT (coop. NASA) • E-Corce (constellation of satellites HR) • Trade Off LEO-GEO for coastal regions and risk management (coop. JAXA) • Infra red sounder for post EPS (IASI F/O, coop. Eumetsat) • 3MI (Multiviewing Multichannel Multipolarization Imager) (Polder F/O) • TIR MISTIGRI (study of vegetation cycle : high resolution and high revisit, coop. Spain) • Lidar for altimetry and bathymetry • Hyperspectral • Microméga (Grace F/O) • CO2 : Minicarb • Pollution from geostationnary orbit WATER-HM workshop, Paris, 01/02/08
WATerElevation Recovery & Hydrosphere Mapper • Mission combining research needs associated to hydrology and oceanography : mapping of water level for rivers, lakes, and oceans (including coasts) • Principle : Wide-swath interferometric, Ka-band altimeter • Cooperation scheme : TBD (NASA/CNES/NOAA/…) • Status : • Phase 0 underway • Phase A possible in mid-2008 • Launch : 2015+ WATER-HM workshop, Paris, 01/02/08
Phase 0 status • Exchange of letters between NASA&CNES : • Agreement on conducting a cooperative preliminary study about WATER-HM • In the spirit and in the continuation of 20+ years of cooperation in space altimetry • Agreement to constitute a common Science Working Group • Points of Contact for Programmatics and Science designated • CNES phase 0 study in progress, fully funded • SWG created, Terms Of Reference agreed WATER-HM workshop, Paris, 01/02/08
Follow-on activities • CNES/NASA and CNES/NOAA meetings at CEO/Administrator level=> WATER-HM is a high priority in France/US space cooperation • Formal review of proposals at CNES end of September, 2007=> WATER-HM ranked first for entering phase A in 2008=> CNES will be able to fund phase A in 2008/2009 : • dedicated project team • industrial & science activities • Conditions/constraints to enter phase A in 2008 : • Phase 0 has to be ok • no showstopper • science goals & requirements in agreement with phase 0 design(s) • Cooperation/coordination with NASA to be discussed : • CNES does not intend to perform the whole set of phase A activities • Preliminary responsibility/task sharing to be discussed WATER-HM workshop, Paris, 01/02/08
