EECL are delighted to share the news that we have signed a contract with Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) to supply high performance RF & Microwave hardware to the Amazonia-1B Space Mission.

The data collected by the Amazonia-1B mission will be crucial in the fight against climate change, offering insights that can inform policy decisions, conservation strategies, and global climate models. Through the innovative use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Reflectometry, the Amazonia-1B mission will accurately map the biomass and soil moisture content of this vast rainforest. Such detailed mapping is essential for monitoring the health and changes in the rainforest, providing critical data for environmental research and conservation efforts.

As part of our contribution to this exciting mission, EECL are tasked with delivering three state-of-the-art payload modules within the next 6 months fully tested and qualified.
