Last week, Mònica Roca i Aparici took part in a panel discussion within the 'Women in Technology Day' 👩🚀 🚀
Organised by #HypatiaMars, in collaboration with @ieec.cat
and #BIST, it was a showcase for connecting and inspiring female talent in the fields of science and technology 🛰️
🗞️ We're featured in the #Copernicus @sentinelonline.bsky.social success stories!

The new calibration site consists of a corner reflector and a #GNSS antenna 📡
@esa.int
In Feb 2025, @isardsat.bsky.social and the #HypatiaII crew deployed a corner reflector at #MDRS, turning the site into a new calibration point for #Sentinel3.

#EO images from #Copernicus #Sentinel2 show the effects of the cut-off low that took place in Catalonia this weekend 🛰️
The images show the Foix's reservoir overflow, the sediment plumes from the coast in Cubelles, and some affectations to the coastline.

We presented two more posters at #LPS25!
👉 Analysing a numerical retracker algorithm for monitoring the ocean topography using #Sentinel6 data.
👉 The recent improvements to a shoreline processor that uses #Sentinel1 data to generate #coastal change products.

Fully-Focused SAR #FFSAR altimetry data, combined with other #satellite inputs and processing methods, provides valuable insights to monitor inland waters and glaciers 🛰️📈
We presented some of our results at #LPS25 👇
@esa.int @lancasteruni.bsky.social @eumetsat.int @earthwave.bsky.social
At @esa.int #LPS25 we presented how Fully-Focused SAR #FFSAR radar altimetry data from #Sentinel6 allows us to estimate #ocean swell parameters 🌊
This research is part of the the #SARWAVE project.

This week we're at @esa.int #LPS25!
We presented our recent advances in #Copernicus next polar altimetry mission: #CRISTAL 🛰️
With Aresys, Airbus, @es-ucl.bsky.social, @ifremer.bsky.social, @lancasteruni.bsky.social , @awi.de

Next after retracking is of course classification with a great presentation by Michel Guerra-Bernal from @isardsat.bsky.social also on the #clev2er @esa.int project. Exciting new possibilities with FFSAR in the age of AI…
🛰️ Have you heard of #MARE?
@isardsat.bsky.social has developed an innovative methodology based on #satellite data to monitor #drought with a resolution of up to 5 metres 🌱
Coordinated by the #IEEC in collaboration with #ICGCat and @i2cat.net

Another key focus was studying human factors related to the female body under semi-extreme conditions. This research helps close the data gap in understanding how #space missions affect #women — a critical issue given that only 1 in 10 #astronauts is female 👩🚀
🧵3/4
Among these was the deployment of a calibration site for radar altimeters onboard #EarthObservation satellites 🛰️, funded by the European Space Agency @esa.int
It is a step forward in improving calibration techniques, and advancing towards how satellite calibration could work beyond Earth 🪐

🚀 The second crew of #HypatiaMars presented the results of their mission at the analogue Mars Desert Research Station #MDRS at #CosmoCaixa.
From February 2-15, the Hypatia II crew carried out over 15 research and outreach projects.
