    Solar radius measurements with the SODISM instrument : methods and algorithm developments for the PICARD Payload Data Center
    Irbah, Abdanour Dufour, Christophe Meftah, Mustapha

    The PICARD space mission is scheduled for a launch in 2010. Its payload consists in 3 instruments: SODISM from LATMOS, SOVAP from IRMB (Belgium) and PREMOS from PMOD (Switzerland). SODISM key objective is to measure the diameter and shape of the Sun with an accuracy of a few milliarcseconds (mas), and their potential change during the...

    MISOLFA solar monitor for the ground PICARD program
    Corbard, T. Irbah, Abdanour Assus, P.

    Developed at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur (OCA) within the framework of the PICARD space mission (Thuillier et al., 2006) and with support from the french spatial agency (CNES), MISOLFA (Moniteur d'Images Solaires Franco-Algérien) is a new generation of daytime turbulence monitor. Its objective is to measure both the spatial and temporal...

    The solar seeing monitor MISOLFA: presentation and first results
    Irbah, Abdanour Corbard, T. Assus, P.

    PICARD is a space mission developed to observe the Sun at high angular resolution. One of the main space objectives of PICARD is to measure the solar diameter with few milli arc-seconds accuracy. A replica of the space instrument will be installed at Calern Observatory in order to test our ability to make such measurement from ground with...

    The PICARD Payload Data Centre
    Pradels, Grégory Guinle, Thierry Thuillier, Gérard

    PICARD is a scientific space mission dedicated to the study of the solar variability origin. A French micro-satellite will carry an imaging telescope for measuring the solar diameter, limb shape and solar oscillations, and two radiometers for measuring the total solar irradiance and the irradiance in five spectral domains, from ultraviolet to...
