The mission consists of three satellite instruments, according to the province, two of which are designed by the University of Saskatchewan, including a satellite imager for aerosol profiling and an imager for water vapour. .The project will support the HAWC mission, looking at high-altitude aerosol, water vapour and clouds and help develop instruments that will improve extreme weather prediction, climate modelling and disaster modelling.
“The HAWC mission represents a monumental opportunity for Saskatchewan in expanding its expertise in cutting-edge space and satellite research and development and elevate the province’s reputation as a leader in aerospace technology,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said.“The economic, advanced training and employment opportunities created through this project will provide a tremendous benefit to Saskatchewan people.
