ESA has developed the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) to re-supply the International Space Station. At the end of each supply mission, the ATV is directed into a destructive re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Hovemere was part of an international ESA team analysing and studying the compendium of re-entry observational data from the destructive re-entry of ATV-1 Jules Verne which occurred in September 2008. |  More details |

Hovemere has been involved in three EC-funded projects where it has had a responsibility for developing Lidar-based solutions for detection of atmospheric hazards to aircraft. Clear air turbulence, wake vortices and wind shear can all be detected using Lidar systems. Airborne Lidar systems operating at 355 nm show great promise in terms of unique and unambiguous detection of these hazards. | More details |
