Overview of the NanoCarb GHG sensor project
Le projet Nanocarb pour la mesure des gaz à effet de serre
Résumé
NanoCarb is a compact snapshot imaging spectrometer in the shortwave infrared, dedicated to the measurement of greenhouse gases, like CO2 or
CH4. It was developed in the framework of the H2020 Scarbo project by Onera and UGA, and two avenues of research were investigated: a preliminary design for a space mission, and the development of two airborne prototypes. The former proved the relevance of Nanocarb as a compact payload for a constellation of minisatellites dedicated to GHG monitoring with a sub-daily revisit, while the airborne prototypes proved the manufacturability of such a microspectrometer. Even though more experiments and signal processing improvements are still to be done to quantitatively prove the performance of Nanocarb GHG sensor, the current results confirm the interest to pursue the development of Nanocarb.
