Abstract

The PROVE Pathfinder CubeSat payload is a 2U Visual and TIR imaging payload optimized for observation of volcanic ash clouds for 3D reconstruction. Three of the main challenges for the mission operations of payload are optimization of the observation geometry (num. images, angles, etc.), data management of a high data rate payload, and observation scheduling for sporadic eruptions. Example solutions to these problems are presented below
