CubeSats for Climate Change Monitoring (C3M): Demonstrating Interferometric IR Payloads Scalable to Constellations

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Project Objective: Develop a compact, low-power IR spectrometer for a modular 1U CubeSat. Mission Motivation: Enable timely monitoring of climate hazards, wildfires, volcanic activity, and greenhouse gases. Core Demonstration: Validated end-to-end integration and operation of a thermal IR payload on the Artemis CubeSat Kit. Constellation Vision: Establish a scalable, low-cost architecture for high-revisit climate monitoring.
