  1. INPE: Space and Environment R&D for Brazil in the 21st Century

  2. Nature, 29 July 2010

  3. Brazil: a natural knowledge economy? Brazil´s innovation system is in large part built upon its natural and environmental resources, endowments and assets.

  4. 46% of energy is renewable Brazil: a natural knowledge economy Deforestation cut by 300% (2005-09) World leader in tropical agriculture Best technology in biofuels

  5. Space technology adds value to Brazil´s natural knowledge economy Energy Agriculture Ecosystems Megacities Climate change Weather and natural disasters

  6. A Vision for INPE in the 21st Century Brazil will be an environmental power and the first developed nation in the tropics INPE will be a world-class centre in Space and Environment R&D for the tropical region

  7. INPE: CONVERTING DATA INTO KNOWLEDGE SATELLITES Earth observation, scientific, and data collection satellites GROUND SYSTEMS Satellite control, reception, processing and distribution of satellite data ANALYSIS AND MODELLING Space Weather, Weather Prediction and Earth System Science SOCIETAL BENEFITS Innovative products to meet Brazil´s needs

  8. CBERS GPM_BR INPE is unique: we are efficient users of the data produced by the satellites we build and receive Mapping deforestation Weather forecasts

  9. World Research Centers: Impact and Visibility INPE: only Brazilian institute in top 40 Source: Cybermetrics Lab, Spain

  10. Space Weather Monitoring at INPE Ionospheric scintillation

  11. Numerical Weather Prediction at INPE Media Info Global Weather Data PCD Numerical Weather Products Forecast Preparation Supercomputer

  12. Monitoring Deforestation in Amazonia CBERS image Deforestation Degradation Science (27 April 2007): “Brazil´s monitoring system is the envy of the world”.

  13. Open access data policy: a qualified success CBERS@INPE: 1 million images (2004-2009) LANDSAT @USGS: 1 million images (Jan-Aug-2009) GMES Sentinels @ESA-EC: Data will be open access (Sep 2009)

  14. MMP (CENIC, MECTRON, FibraForte, Atech) CBERS solar panels (ORBITAL) INPE is Brazil´s main driver of innovation in space technology Camara MUX-Free (OPTO) CBERS onboard computer (OMNISYS)

  15. LIT – Integration and Tests Laboratory Complete infrastructure for assembly and qualification of satellites70 000 man-hours per year of industrial tests

  16. Multimission platform Common support for Earth Observation mini-satellites Orbits from 600 to 1200 km Payload:280 kg Plataform: 250 kg

  17. Amazônia-1: first MMP mission (launch 2013) AWFI Global land imaging every 5 days together 0,45-0,52B 0,52-0,59G SpectralBands(m) 0,63-0,69R 0,77-0,89NIR Spatialresolution(m) 40 Groundswath(km) 780 5 Revisit (days)

  18. LATTES (EQUARS and MIRAX) MIRAX: Hard and soft X-rays EQUARS Stratosphere temperature Ionospheric bubbles GPS occultation

  19. MIRAX X-ray imager NASA Explorer MoO proposal 2011 not selected INPE may support SAO for HXI delivery NASA support is needed for data processing and distribution Unique wide-field X-ray imager to be operating 2016-2020 State-of-the-art imaging X-ray detectors from Harvard-SAO/GSFC/Caltech Very high sensitivity and angular resolution

  20. Global Terrestrial Ecosystem Observatory (GTEO) Hyperspectral imager 256 bands JPL (instrument) INPE (bus + launch)

  21. Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring with GTEO

  22. Imaging Spectroscopy Concept

  23. Imaging Spectroscopy Remote Measurement via Spectral Fitting

  24. Global Imaging Spectrometer Measures the land surface as well as coastal and inland waters at 60 m every 19 days. Full solar reflected spectrum of the Earth from 380 – 2500nm at 10 nm. Visible to Short Wavelength InfraRed (VSWIR) 60 m – adequate for global terrestrial ecosystems 1000 m 1 terabit per orbit

  25. Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) for Chandrayaan-1 Indian Mission to the Moon 8 Kg, 15 watts, 24 Month Build High uniformity and high SNR design by P. Mouroulis Baffles TM-1 FoldMirror Baffle TM2 Uniform Slit TM-3 Convex Multi Facet Blazed Grating Offner Spectro-meter Spherical Mirror Order Sorting Filter and Focal Plane Detector Array Baffle

  26. M3First Spectral Light 19 Nov 2008 Cover of Science 23 Oct 2009 Discovery of OH/H2O in the illuminated regions of the Moon R 2-µm absorption G Brightness B 3-µm absorption OH/H2O

  27. MMP readiness status All equipments are qualified Strong space heritage on mission-critical parts

  28. MMP qualification in INPE (2008)

  29. Planned missions: 2012-2020

  30. A visionary of the Brazilian space program... Dr. Fernando Mendonça (INPE´s founder) “We want to build an intellectual elite at the highest level, capable of breaking Brazil's dependence on foreign technology. We need people with knowledge and ideas on how to develop Brazil, who are quick to grasp the future paths of science, and who are conscious of their role in major government decisions”. Veja, 12/03/1969
