Carr Has Been Published! - September 9th, 2019
The Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) has published our article "Joint 3D-Wind Retrievals with Stereoscopic Views from MODIS and GOES". It can be found in Remote Sensing as part of the Special Issue MISR and is available online. |
TEMPO Contract Awarded! - June 26th, 2019
We have been supporting the TEMPO instrument project for many years. TEMPO is an imaging spectrometer for geostationary orbit that will detect trace gases (including important pollutants, such as NO2, SO2, and O3) by the “fingerprints” that they leave in the sunlight reflected off the Earth’s surface. It’s a hosted payload and therefore needs a host, which would be a commercial communications satellite. We have helped engineer the instrument, written science software for the Science Data Processing Center, participated in its Science Team, and helped with the host procurement. NASA has told the TEMPO team that a fixed-price contract has been awarded to Maxar Technologies (formerly Space Systems/Loral, located in Palo Alto, California) to host TEMPO. Maxar will host TEMPO on a 1300-series satellite as part of a mission for EchoStar Satellite Services. The EchoStar satellite will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 in early 2022 and be stationed a 92.85°W longitude. |

Carr Goes Live with WxLiveStream - June 27th, 2018
Carr Astro has gone live with our WxLiveStream data streaming service that provides access to live GOES-R imagery as if the subscriber had their own antenna and ground terminal to receive the GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) product. Our web application, offered through Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace, streams imagery in real time and provides tools to ingest it for consumption by weather applications. Our focus is on “nowcasting” users, where low latency is essential. Click the link to subscribe! https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07CWZ7ZMT |

Dr. Carr Presents at 2017 NOAA Emerging Technologies Workshop - August 23rd, 2017
The 2017 NOAA Emerging Technologies Workshop is being held in College Park, MD. It showcases innovations that have the potential to benefit NOAA’s observational capabilities for the future. Read about our work in 3D Winds here: http://carrastro.com/winds |
Carr Receives ProTech Award - June 8th, 2017
Carr Astronautics has received an award from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the ProTech Satellite Domain. ProTech is a new contract vehicle intended for the procurement of a broad range of professional and technical services relating to NOAA’s capabilities for gathering environmental intelligence from space. Carr Astronautics has a long track record of working with NOAA, particularly in support of their constellation of geostationary weather satellites. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve the agency through the ProTech vehicle. We are dedicated to NOAA’s mission and recognize its immense value to this nation and the world. We thank our teammates and our other partners in industry and academia for their support during our ProTech proposal and capture activities. |
