ABB has been selected by OHB System AG to provide thermal infrared imaging instruments for two European Space Agency (ESA) Harmony satellites.

Québec City based ABB Canada announced last week that it would be building four more hyperspectral cameras for GHGSat and that they would be delivered in 2024.

The number of satellites on-orbit for the GHGSat emissions tracking constellation is about to double from three to six with GHGSat-C3, C4 and C5 set for launch later this month.

ABB and EarthDaily are ready to boost Earth imaging capabilities including using 22-spectral-band imagery of objects as small as five meters as part of a $30 million deal.

Canada was all over the solar system – and even peering beyond its borders – in 2020. Canadian technology helped a spacecraft touch down on a comet, and was named to hunt for exoplanets on a future NASA telescope. Canadian researchers were also busy with space science studies, and companies continued to win contracts amid a tough economic environment due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. …

ABB and Nüvü Camēras, which both have offices in Canada, received a contract to fly exoplanet-hunting camera technology on NASA’s forthcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

Just weeks after announcing their US$30 million Series B funding, GHGSat is moving quickly to get its next greenhouse gas emission detection satellites built. Today the company announced it had selected ABB as a supplier. This page is for subscribers only. Already a subscriber? Log in. Fact-driven space news, columns, business, policy, technology and more.
