Abstract
This work is devoted to the capabilities analysis of constellation and small spacecraft developed using CubeSat technology to solve promising problems of the Earth remote sensing in the area of greenhouse gases emissions. This paper presents the scientific needs for such tasks, followed by descriptions and discussions of the micro-technology application both in the small satellite platform design and in the payload design. The overview of analogical spacecraft is carried out. The design of a new spacecraft for determination the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration in the air column along the line of sight of the spacecraft when it illuminated by reflected sunlight is introduced. A mock-up of the device was made for greenhouse gases remote sensing a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroradiometer is placed in the small spacecraft design. The results of long-term measurements of…
