It hosts at its home an Echelle spectropolarimeter, NeoNarval, stabilized in pressure and temperature since 2019 and hosts an infrared spectropolarimeter, SPIP, copy of the instrument SPIRou (CFHT), almost operational.

PACIS builds on ISAE-SUPAERO’s SSPA Team experience in planetary instrumentation – including our work on Martian missions. It’s a great example of how research and education can contribute directly to space exploration.

Thank you to everyone involved for the hard work ! Next step: Detailed Design!

These data will help better understand atmospheric structure, improve atmospheric models, and support the scientific analysis of future missions.
ollaborative spirit.

PACIS (Platform Atmospheric Characterization Instrumentation Suite) aims to measure pressure, temperature and sound during the Entry, Descent and Landing of ExoMars Entry, Descent And Landing Module.

Very fun ! Congrats

Many US colleagues could not make it this year …

The ISAE-SUPAERO seismometer is a leap forward for miniaturized planetary geophysics.
A big win for #spaceengineering, #planetaryscience, and the future of low-cost interplanetary missions.

This mission is a unique opportunity to study the internal structure and surface response of a near-Earth asteroid during such a rare close encounter.

The seismometer will land on the surface of Apophis to capture vibrations and shocks during its ultra-close flyby (just 32,000 km from Earth — closer than some satellites!).

On board this new CubeSat will be a miniature planetary seismometer designed by the DEOS/SSPA team at ISAE-SUPAERO.

Yes, seismic science is going interplanetary — in CubeSat format!
