The CASSIOPE (or Cascade Smallsat and Ionosphere Polar Explorer) satellite is the new generation of science satellite, featuring the scientific payload, ePOP (enhanced polar outflow probe). ePOP is a suite of eight scientific instruments including data imagers, cameras, magnetometers, and radio wave receivers, which observes Earth’s ionosphere. The instruments collect data about solar storms and their impact on radio communications, satellite navigation and other space and ground-based technologies. This continues in the tradition of Alouette 1 and 2, and ISIS 1 and 2 satellites, and the Canadian research focus of studying of the ionosphere. The model was built as part of an order placed by the Canadian Space Agency. Le satellite CASSIOPE fait partie de la nouvelle génération de satellites qui comprend une charge utile scientifique et sonde de mesure de l’écoulement du plasma dans le vent polaire. Cette sonde comprend une suite de huit instruments scientifiques qui incluent un système d’images et de données, des caméras, des manomètres, et des receveurs d’ondes radioélectriques qui observent la zone ionosphère de la Terre. Les instruments collectent des données sur des tempêtes solaires et leur impactent sur la radiocommunication, la navigation de satellite et autres technologies spatiales ou terrestres. Ceci continue la tradition de l’Alouette 1 et 2, et les satellites ISIS 1 et 2. Ceci continue aussi la recherche canadienne dans le champ de l’ionosphère. Ce modèle a été construit en raison d’une commande de l’Agence spatiale canadienne. - Function

-
CASSIOPE has a couple of important technological improvements in terms of satellite design and versatility. CASSIOPE is the first to use the MAC-200 multi-mission smallsat bus, designed by Magellan Aerospace. The Smallsat bus is a hexagonal shape and measures 180 cm long and 125 cm high and is a standardized platform which can be adapted to support a number of satellite missions related to science, technology, Earth observation, and geologic exploration. Another important technological development is Cascade, CASSIOPE’s second payload, which is serving as a “proof of concept” for a kind of digital courier service. Cascade is designed to essentially pick up large files and deliver them to anywhere in the world - up to 15 gigabytes of data could be transmitted every day. Its large storage and downlink capacities will allow for the transmission of data collected by ePOP to Canadian and international researchers alike. CASSIOPE a quelques améliorations technologiques importantes en ce qui concerne son motif et sa versatilité. CASSIOPE est le premier à utiliser le bus multi-mission MAC-200 conçu par Magellan Aerospace. Le bus est en forme hexagonale et à une dimension de 180 cm de long et 125 cm de haut et est une platform qui peut être adaptée pour appuyer différentes missions qui concernent la science, la technologie, l’observation terrestre et l’exploration géologique. Un autre développement technologique important est Cascade, la deuxième charge utile scientifique de Cassiope, qui agit comme un service numérique de courrier. Cascade est conçue pour livrer des grands fichiers n’importe ou au monde. Cascade peut livrer une limite de 15 gigabytes de données à chaque jour. Ces grandes capacités de données peuvent permettre à une grande transmission d’informations aux chercheurs canadiens et internationaux. - Area Notes
