ITT Receives NOAA Study Awards17/06/2009 |
| ITT has won two study contracts to address detailed costing of commercial options for operational weather systems. ITT is the premier supplier for operational weather sensors flown on U.S. and international spacecraft with continuous operations during the past 35 years in LEO and/or GEO orbit. |
|
ITT Space Systems proposed multiple options to provide geosynchronous sounding and imaging via alternative procurement methods including firm-fixed price and fee-for-service. The specific purpose of the solicited options was to provide vertical atmospheric profiles to aid in improved weather forecasts.
Both of these systems were originally planned for the next-generation GOES-R mission, as part of the HES Suite. HES was canceled in 2006 due to cost and risk concerns. ITT proposes options to restore these capabilities at significantly lower cost. By deploying these sensors at lower cost, the full benefit of these critical-need observations can be restored. These options may also be deployed internationally in the same way to meet global weather, fisheries and climate needs.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories |
|
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
