The mission was funded through the Small Explorer program to investigate the physical conditions of the solar limb, particularly the chromosphere of the Sun. Iris is the European Space Agency programme to develop an Air-Ground communication system for the SESAR programme. Iris is also designed to enable initial ‘4D’ trajectories, pinpointing an aircraft in four dimensions: latitude, longitude, altitude and time, which is one of the major concepts defined in SESAR. Status: where we are now Exploiting a sunsynchronous orbit. Programme description: Single-satellite programme, addressing solar observation; USA programme: NASA responsible of development and operations, in collaboration with a large number of scientific institutes in the US and abroad. Overview of Iris development within ESA's ARTES 10 Program. Le programme TV gratuit et complet du mardi 04 mai par Télé 7 Jours - Retrouvez également la grille des chaînes de la TNT pour les deux prochaines semaines The Iris Programme aims at delivering a validated satellite communication system for the European ATM System by 2015, with validation of the service carried out end-to-end by SESAR Joint Undertaking. Iris is powered by Inmarsat’s award-winning SB-S digital aircraft operations platform, using its world’s leading L-band satellite constellation, which has underpinned global safety services for 40 years. The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), also called Explorer 94, is a NASA solar observation satellite. The IRIS launch vehicle apparently consists of the No-Dong/Shahab-3 first stage with a bulbous front section ultimately designed to carry an additional second stage solid motor as well as a communications satellite or scientific payload. The IRIS launch vehicle is a space related derivation of the Shahab-3 ballistic missile. Iris, element 10 of the ARTES program, aims to supply a validated satellite-based communication solution for the European ATM (Air Traffic Management System).It is implemented in close collaboration with the SESAR (Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research) Program launched in 2006 by Eurocontrol and the European Community. NASA.gov brings you the latest images, videos and news from America's space agency. IRIS is a Principal Investigator (PI) led Small Explorer Mission; PI is Alan Title located at Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center, Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory. Platform actively stabilised over 3 axes; Design lifetime 2 years. Get the latest updates on NASA missions, watch NASA TV live, and learn about our quest to reveal the unknown and benefit all humankind. Iris will provide the satcoms technology for this programme. The Iris Programme A partnership to deliver continental satellite communications over Europe, enabling the SESAR Master Plan Sponsored by ESA and led by Inmarsat. Lors du salon aéronautique du Bourget, Florence Parly, ministre des Armées, a annoncé deux nouveaux programmes spatiaux de renseignement.
