BIOSCOPE

BIOSCOPE investigates the technical and economical viability of a vegetation monitoring system based on the integrated use of satellites and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). BIOSCOPE uses satellite navigation for precise and crucial positioning, while using UASs to solve satellites' cloud cover problems. This will be achieved by flying at different days and times, or if needed even underneath the clouds, and by flying on-demand at targeted fields to get the right image, serving a growing group of nature park managers, farmers and their service providers, that have a key interest in the ability to receive on-demand imagery. BIOSCOPE is a project from TerraSphere, Aurea Imaging, AeroVision and CRP-Gabriel Lippmann that is funded by ESA.
