SMILE ASI#
SMILE ASI is a continent-wide network of color (RGB) ASIs operated by UCalgary in support of the ESA/CAS SMILE satellite mission. These instruments will replace the THEMIS ASIs.
These are currently being deployed by UCalgary. We expect half the array to be deployed by end of 2025, and the remaining by end of 2026.
20+ instruments
