We’re looking forward to meeting experts and stakeholders at the EUMETSAT Meteorological Satellite Conference 2025, taking place from 15 to 19 September in Lyon, France. This event is the perfect opportunity for us to share our latest research and innovations in satellite-based solar irradiance monitoring. Reuniwatt will present new advances in surface solar irradiance (SSI) retrieval using data from the cutting-edge Meteosat Third Generation
Unlike traditional radio frequency systems, lasercomm offers dramatically higher bandwidth and enhanced security, making it a key enabler for next-generation satellite missions and data-hungry applications. However, this leap in capability comes with new vulnerabilities—particularly the sensitivity of optical signals to atmospheric conditions. Even minor disruptions, such as cloud cover or atmospheric turbulence, can severely degrade or interrupt the laser link between space assets and ground
The European Union has been taking a groundbreaking step in addressing aviation’s climate impact by introducing mandatory monitoring and reporting of non-CO₂ emissions, including contrails, from January 2025. This initiative is part of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) framework and represents the first large-scale effort globally to systematically track contrails from flights within the European Economic Area (EEA). Contrails, which form when
Are we truly ready for the next solar storm? The Sun is more than just a source of light and heat—it is a dynamic and powerful force that can influence life on Earth in unexpected ways. Solar storms, caused by intense bursts of energy from the Sun have the potential to disrupt modern technology and pose risks to space travel, making it essential to
Meet us at COAT Oberpfaffenhofen to learn how Reuniwatt's observational network and dataset catalogue can provide you with access to valuable data from installations across Europe.COAT 2025 - Communications and Observations through Atmospheric Turbulence COAT 2025 is a multidisciplinary workshop to address the biggest challenges in free-space optical propagation from astronomy to optical satellite links.Cloud monitoring and forecasting is critical for many industries. With tools from
Local businesses play a significant role in Reunion Island's renewable energy initiatives, with companies like Reuniwatt and Albioma leading the way in innovation and implementation. A recent article in pv magazine highlights their contributions. You can find the article in the pv magazine Photovoltaic markets and technologies 07 & 08 2024 edition, pp. 46-77. Transforming the Electricity Grid in Reunion Reunion Island has emerged
Contrails observations to reduce climate impact Contrails are the cloud-like formations created when aircraft exhaust mixes with cold high-altitude air. Recent studies suggest that their climate impact may be greater than that of carbon dioxide emissions from aviation, which has propelled contrails to the forefront of climate research, as the aviation industry seeks to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Understanding the formation, persistence, and
Reuniwatt continues its expansion with the opening of its Australian office in the capital of Victoria, Melbourne. Australia offers an exceptional environment for Reuniwatt's growth, thanks to a regulatory framework that is favourable to the development of renewable energies. Green power acceleration in Australia The Australian renewables market has rapidly expanded, driven by the country's abundant natural resources, government policies, and a commitment to
Starting this August, Reuniwatt will intensify their activities in Australia. TotalEnergies supports Reuniwatt in its international development. TotalEnergies' support is ideal for developing Reuniwatt's business and enables us to offer our employees abroad a comfortable and stimulating working environment, in the presence of colleagues from the same sector of activity. The collaboration was announced at Intersolar 2024 in Munich in a press release from
[Webinar] No Clouds on the Horizon: The Future Looks Bright for FSOC In the last decade free space optical communications (FSOC), also called laser communications, has evolved from a niche to a mature technology. Recent successes have pushed this technology forward, with the aim of providing global broadband coverage. However, FSOC still faces two major challenges to providing similar performance to terrestrial "backbone
