Observation of Environmental Phenomena (Imedias)
Research Area: Earth Remote Sensing
Expedition(s): 3
Principal Investigator(s): ● Jean-Pierre Lacaux, Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales,
Toulouse, France
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Drawing on photos of remarkable phenomena, the Observation of Environmental Phenomena
(Imedias) experiment aims to put together a collection of original images. Combined with
satellite images, the collection provides scientists with crucial information in the field of Earth
observation on clouds, desertification, deforestation, and much more.
RESULTS
Unfortunately, the photo sessions in orbit did not manage to produce images of good enough
quality to assist in the goals of the experiment.
This investigation is complete; however no publications are expected.
