Next 28-29 September, in ESA ESRIN premises, Frascati (Italy), will be held the 5th International Workshop on On-Board Payload Data Compression.

In the coming years, the huge amount of data collected from EO and Cosmic exploration missions will need powerful compression algorithms, to match the available channel resources. Moreover, many Earth Observation satellites are required to transmit data on-ground in real time, this means that compression devices with very high throughput are requested.

The On-Board Payload Data Compression Workshop aims to bring together all the professionals working in the field, to share the latest ideas and developments and to pave the way for the future technological challenges. This Workshop is co-organised by ESA and CNES.

Planetek Italia will participate with two presentations:

• "SpaceOP3C: an Onboard Hyperspectral Compression Scheme using the Hybrid Unmixing PCA Methodology". Session 3 - Multispectral/Hyperspectral Data Compression.
• "Lightweight Onboard Hyperspectral Compression and Recovery by Matrix Completion". Session 1 - Compressive Sensing
