PROVE Pathfinder Information

Within our work, which is guided by world class space experts and volcanologists from the University of Bristol, we have a ground station, a clean room and the PROVE CubeSat mission. With a mature Cubesat payload, we are actively looking for launch opportunities locally in the UK and globally around the world. Please get it touch to find out more. Satellites are used everyday in everything we do. Our maps that guide us all come from space and the satellites that orbit our beautiful blue planet. CubeSats are the next generation of small satellites that even some high school students are getting opportunities to build, gain experience with and to send to space. Space might be a hostile environment, but we are learning more and more how we can use satellites in space to help our planet. One of the areas that our research is focused on, is monitoring and predicting volcanic eruptions around the world. Approximately 1.3 billion people live side by side with volcanoes, and eruptions can be catastrophic on a massive scale. With satellites, we have more information at our fingertips that can be used to not only save lives, but to also understand and model how the volcanic eruptions affect our environment as volcanic ash can even blacken out the sun across whole continents.
