THERMAL DESIGN FOR A CHANGING PLANET: OHB Italia S.p.A. at #ICES

24 July 2025 News

OHB Italia took part to the International Conference on Environmental Systems (ICES), held in Prague from 13th to 17th July.

Our colleague D. Rizzo presented four technical #papers focused on the #thermaldesignand #calibrationstrategies of advanced microwave radiometers, essential instruments for Earth observation missions like #CIMR (Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer) and #MWI (Microwave Imager for MetOp-SG).

His work covered key challenges and innovative solutions for:

  • Ensuring stable temperatures in rotating payloads like CIMR
  • Designing precise calibration systems for accurate atmospheric data
  • Developing methods to compute brightness temperature
  • Validating performance through complex thermal-vacuum testing setups

These contributions strengthen our Company’s role in supporting European space missions to protect our planet.

Well done, Davide and thank you for bringing OHB Italia’s expertise to the international stage!
