SEA, part of Cohort plc, announces that it has been selected by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) – instrument prime for the Multi-Spectral Imager – to provide the Instrument Control Unit (ICU) for the European Space Agency’s EarthCARE mission, a contract valued at circa €3.5 million.
Under this contract, SEA will work alongside the prime, SSTL, to develop and produce the ICU for the Multi-Spectral Imager instrument on board the EarthCARE satellite, a €263 million joint Japanese-European project, which will be used to gain a better understanding of the interactions between cloud, radiative and aerosol processes that play a role in climate regulation.
