Abstract
Abstract. The launch of the four CO3D satellites took place on 25th July 2025. One of the goals of the mission is to generate a worldwide, accurate and low-cost Digital Surface Model (DSM) at a resolution and relative height accuracy of 1m. This 3D performance relies on well-controlled image quality: the radiometry and resolution ensure a performant matching between the stereo images, and the geometry guarantees an accurate altimetry. The Image Quality In-Orbit Test (IOT) phase has permitted to tune the on-board parameters before starting the massive acquisitions. Dedicated acquisition modes were used on calibration sites spread throughout the world. Thanks to the agility of the satellite, celestial acquisitions are possible and support the radiometry and resolution calibrations. This paper does not include the in-orbit performances due to confidentiality agreement.
Danuri, South Korea’s first lunar orbiter, was launched on 2022 August 5, and has completed its two-year nominal mission phase. The wide-angle Polarimetric Camera (PolCam) onboard Danuri is the first instrument to conduct global polarimetric observations from lunar orbit. This paper presents the image artifact correcti...

Sonars generate a significant amount of noise. With the advent of new technology capable of producing full 3D point clouds, the noise is amplified in sparse point clouds, making it challenging to recognize features for navigation, recognition, or reconstruction. To address this challenge, we propose using two different...

Accurate, long-term, and continuous monitoring of Earth’s radiances is crucial for detecting subtle climate change signals. International expert teams are developing space-based reference systems to establish an SI-traceable radiometric benchmark in orbit. The High-Accuracy Onboard Calibrator (HAOC) is a pioneering pro...
