| Description: | The Remote sensing and Interference detector with radiome-Try and vegetation Analysis (RITA) payload was selected in 2019 the 2nd GRSS Student Grand Challenge to fly onboard AlainSat-1, a 3U CubeSat developed at the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) in United Arab Emirates. RITA payload includes a passive Microwave Radiometer (MWR), a LoRa transceiver, and an hyper-spectral camera. The objective of the payload is to retrieve Earth Observation (EO) parameters such as: soil moisture, sea-ice thickness and concentration, among others. A Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) detection algorithm is also included to the payload to create interference maps in the received signals. This project is supported and funded by the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), as one of the winners of the 2nd IEEE GRSS Student Grand Challenge, and supported grants for recruitment of early-stage research staff of Agencia Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca (AGAUR) Generalitat de Catalunya, Spain (FI2019/1183, FISDUR2020/105, FI2022/809, and FI2023/239). This article was part of the project ”GENESIS: GNSS Environmental and Societal Missions – Subproject UPC”, Grant PID2021-126436OB-C21 funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Investigacion (MCIN)/Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI)/10.13039/501100011033 and EU FEDER “Una manera de hacer Europa”. |
