This project focuses on speeding up single pixel imaging systems, and until now managed to achieve modulation rates of 2.4 MHz. This is two orders of magnitudes above the currently available modulation rates. Fore more refer to the latest publication on Nature Communications 2022.

CT for Clouds: A Fleet of Micro-Satellites Will See into the Smallest Clouds
Ten satellites, each around the size of a shoebox, are slated in a few years to enter orbit and begin filling in some gaping holes in our understanding of clouds and their role in climate. Inspired by medical CT (computed tomography), which observes and maps the interior of a patient, the designers are creating a system that will reveal detailed images of clouds‘ external and internal 3D structures and properties. By probing small cloud fields that are generally missed by today’s remote sensing technologies, the mission may resolve some major uncertainties that limit current atmospheric modeling and climate prediction.
