Cryosat-2 Radar Sensor To Get Test Run Over the Arctic
Paris — An airborne version of a new-generation radar sensor to be flown on Europe’s Cryosat-2 ice-monitoring Earth observation satellite will be tested this spring from Norway’s Svalbard Island near the North Pole. The test is intended to help mission managers in their preparations for integration of the actual radar payload into the satellite.
During the tests, an aircraft provided by the German Aerospace Center, DLR, will carry a modified version of the synthetic-aperture Siral radar designed for Cryosat-2 to study ice thickness in conjunction with measurements made at the same time on the ground.

Although this “Mission” reassembles plenty of familiar faces from the 27-year-old theatrical franchise’s history, there are new key supporting players in Hayley Atwell, already a proven espionage presence thanks to Marvel’s Agent Carter; and Pom Klementieff, here cast as what amounts to a Bond villain far removed from her “Guardians of the Galaxy” persona, continuing to stock the “Mission” team with European talent in key roles.
