OHB Hellas role

Mechanical engineering & manufacturing of mass representative models

The Objective

The Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer (CIMR) is a satellite system developed as part of the European Union Copernicus program expansion activities. CIMR is designed to monitor the rapid Earth system changes taking place in the Arctic in response to the Integrated European Policy for the Arctic. The aim of the mission is to provide high-spatial resolution microwave imaging radiometry measurements and derived products with global coverage and sub-daily revisit in the polar regions and adjacent seas to address Copernicus user needs.

OHB Hellas Contributions

OHB Hellas is responsible the detailed design, advanced manufacturing, and rigorous verification of mass representative models for the CIMR mission. These components are essential for the satellite’s mechanical testing phases, ensuring structural survival during launch and operational environment.
