The workshop seeks to bring together, experts from industrial and academic developers of instruments, those specifying, designing and performing calibration and characterisation as well as scientists, engineers, New Space actors, agencies and funding organisations interested in: what is and/or might be possible for a next generation instrument or future application. The workshop will be organised to encourage discussion and debate on what is ‘fit for purpose’ for particular types of application.
Topics include UV-SWIR and TIR
