GRASP Earth

Monitoring the planet from Earth and Space

Next webinar | Tuesday March 25th – 11am CET (1pm Arabian ST, 3:30pm Indian ST)

IMAP webinar

New directions in particulate measurements – using polarization from ground and satellite

What can we learn from polarization measurements? The Paul Scherrer Institute’s (PSI) Luminous field campaign in Grenada Spain observed several dust events and featured the first deployment of the IMAP 100 ground instrument. The IMAP100 characterizes particles using polarization as well as using multiple wavelengths, angles and size cuts. Dr. Barbara Bartozzi of PSI will discuss what they learned during Luminous using the IMAP in conjunction with several other instruments. She will also discuss IMAP instrument performance and future prospects for using polarization in conjunction with satellite data. Mr Richard Kleidman of AirPhoton will provide an introduction that discusses the basics of particulate observations using polarization, multiple wavelengths, and angular information and the IMAP instrument.

GAPMAP: Pioneering the future of Air Quality assessment

GAPMAP mission marks a significant milestone as the first of its kind to be deployed for the assessment of particulate pollution in urban and community areas. With an in-orbit-demonstrator launched in April 2023, the whole constellation composed of 10 cubesats will offer a wealth of data on Earth’s surface, cloud formation and, notably, atmospheric aerosols, contributing vital insights for environmental monitoring and scientific research.

Our Services

Satellite data provider for atmospheric composition

GAPMAP provides space data for atmospheric characterization, offering customers information on atmospheric composition and surface products.

Remote Sensing consulting

Validations and reports about remote sensing activities such as satellite cal/val, satellite application viability studies, evaluation reports of air quality, etc.

Retrieval software for Earth Observation Remote Sensing

GRASP retrieval algorithm is a totally generalized tool that can be adapted for the inversion of any remote sensing measurement to obtain atmospheric or surface related products.

Development of Satellite product retrieval

Development of a production system: A complete chain from raw data to results, from level 0 to 4, including user interface and all the tools you need to get the most out of the code.

Optical instrument development

Our instrument building team designs and develops advanced remote sensing instruments (polarimeters, spectrometers, TIR sensors...) for ground or space observations.

Air Quality Instruments

GRASP counts with a complete catalog of instruments dedicated to Air Quality purposes covering the well established sampling station to the latest scientific sensors as the Polar Nephelometer.

We bring deep expertise in all areas of Earth Observation remote sensing

GRASP Earth is a company that works around algorithms, computer tools, ground-instruments and satellite payloads developed by researchers in the area of Environmental Sciences and Remote Sensing. Our intention is to conceptualize, develop and implement the use of advanced techniques in atmospheric science, particularly in air pollution, that can be used by the broad scientific community and adopted by industries and policy. We currently invest our best efforts in deploying our MAP constellation aimed to capture polarimeter data. Alongside our main activities in developing products from EO r&d, our purpose is to merge MAP data, ground data and public data through GRASP algorithm to create a synergistic product that enhances data quality for air pollution monitoring.
