Recently, Environmental Disaster Mitigation II 01 Group A and B satellites are listed in the “Top Ten Events in China's Remote Sensing Field in 2020", for the contribution on improving the capabilities of ecological environment monitoring and disaster prevention and reduction.
It’s a reward to researchers from Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (AIOFM), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), who manufactured The Polarized Scanning Atmospheric Corrector (PSAC) loaded on the twin satellites.
The PASA was successfully started up on October 20, 2020. It has now undergone 6 months of on-orbit testing and evaluation.
As the only new instrument that configured on the Environmental Disaster Mitigation II satellite, and the world's first wide-range atmospheric synchronization correction instrument with an imaging width of 700km, it can realize the high-precision detection and inversion of atmospheric parameters such as aerosol and water vapor within the satellite imaging area.
