Innovative MAGAL satellite constellation presented at closing session

Alongside the presentation of the project, two panel debates were held:

"End-Users Needs and Wishes & Chat Q&A" - discussion of the pros and cons of ocean monitoring by radar altimetry, consisting by the moderator Carolina Sá (PT Space) and by the speakers Fabiola Amorim (CIIMAR), Byron Tapley (UT Austin), João Janeiro (S2AQUAcoLAB) and Paulo Relvas (Universidade Algarve/ CCMAR).

"Stakeholders Funding & Chat Q&A" - discussion of the financing of new and/ or emerging technologies, such as MAGAL, for the development of the sector, composed by the moderator Pedro Lacerda (Instituto Pedro Nunes - ESA BIC) and by the speakers Santiago Cabaleiro (CETGA) and Pedro Quelhas (Portugal Ventures).

Through the MAGAL Constellation project, Efacec thus assumes the role of establishing the cornerstone of a future ocean monitoring constellation, based on radar altimeter data combined with gravity as well as ocean temperature and salinity measurements.
