Quantum Technologies for Satellite gravity measurement

Ms Manjeet K Sambi, Communications Officer, University of Birmingham

Joint workshop: National Centre for Earth Observation, Centre for EO Instrumentation and the QT Hub for Sensors and Metrology

Edgbaston Park Hotel

This workshop focuses on the potential offered by new quantum technologies for the next generation of gravity sensors and future space missions and the subsequent benefits for science, society and the economy. It will investigate how disruptive quantum technologies are changing the traditional Earth Observation landscape in gravity measurements, and the new opportunities for the public and private sectors. The objectives of the workshop are:<ul><li>To increase the level of knowledge and understanding of the potential of quantum technologies for future EO gravity missions</li></ul><ul><li>To develop a UK network in the science, technologies and application of QT for EO </li></ul><ul><li>To inform and prepare UK-focused teams for future international missions through ESA and other potential business opportunities.</li></ul>DRAFT programme:10.00 	Registration, Tea/Coffee on arrival 10.30 	Welcome to Workshop - Purpose and objectives10.40 	An Introduction to the Science, Technology and Applications of Quantum Technologies to Future Gravity Measurement Missions (Bruno Leone, ESA)11.10	Session 1: Future EO Science enabled by Quantum Technologies<ul><li>A gravitational view of the oceans: achievements and future potential (Rory Bingham, University of Bristol)</li><li>Recent advancements in airborne and satellite gravity imaging of the Antarctic lithosphere and cryosphere (Fausto Ferraccioli, British Antarctic Survey)</li></ul>12.00	Tea/Coffee BreakSession 1 continued<ul><li>Monitoring basin-scale changes in terrestrial water storage using GRACE: challenges of scale and validation (Richard Taylor, UCL)</li><li>Applications of gravity/geoid information in FOAM - the Met Office ocean forecasting system (Daniel Lea, UK MET office)</li></ul>13.00 	Lunch 14.00 	Session 2: Quantum Technologies for Future Gravity Missions<ul><li>Performance of Quantum Gravity Measurement from Space (Kai Bongs, University of Birmingham)</li><li>Quantum Technologies at Te2v (TBC, Teledyne e2v)</li></ul>14:45 	Tea/Coffee break<ul><li>Laser control technologies (Tristan Valenzuela, RAL Space)</li><li>Laser technologies (Loyd McKnight, Fraunhofer)</li><li>Space Launch application (Skyrora)</li></ul>15:45 	Round table discussion <ul><li>Potential commercial opportunities. </li></ul>17.00 	(No later than) Finish
