SpaceTech End-to-End systems - Projects
Knowledge concerning the migration of individual animals and whole populations has always been of high interest to mankind.
The space-bound animal monitoring system ICARUS (International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space) is a global and innovative approach for permanent tracking of flying animals (like birds and bats) and land animals, covering a multitude of regions and species and thus outperforming existing systems.
ICARUS provides complete new insights in animal behaviour
- Dispersal and migration of animals damaging human food
- Global disease spreading by animals
- Wild animal behaviour in changing environments
- Preservation of biodiversity and endangered wildlife protection
