最新的管道监控技术正式脱离了这个世界

一项强大的新管道安全技术已准备就绪。

早在11月，轨道搭档（第一家在太空中部署高光谱传感器）的商业公司已选择管道行业联盟iPipe在现实情况下测试其监视技术。

现在，该公司最强大的高光谱成像卫星Aurora将在SpaceX Transporter-2 Craft上计划今天离开佛罗里达州开普·卡纳维拉尔空军基地的发射台。

自2019年4月以来，Enbridge一直是Ipipe（智能管道完整性计划）的成员。一组安全的行业领导者Ipipe致力于推进新兴技术，以通过放置一系列有希望的近商业来预防和检测管道泄漏技术通过他们在现场的步伐。

“At Enbridge, we are harnessing the power of data, technology and innovation to further advance pipeline safety. With the iPIPE consortium, we are committed to solving real-world problems, and engaging in information sharing and collaboration that help our industry,” says Bhushan Ivaturi, Enbridge’s Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer who leads Technology, Information Services and Digital at Enbridge.

“我们很高兴看到这款高光谱成像卫星的推出，我们认为最终将使管道行业寻求100％的安全性。”

Orbital Sidekick的Aurora卫星将为能源，采矿和防御部门的客户提供商业服务，并承担包括石油和天然气管道监测和甲烷映射的职责。

“The technology aboard the satellite provides high-resolution imagery not previously available to our industry, and we look forward to learning how to apply this new capability through our iPIPE partnership work,” says Darren Schmidt, iPIPE’s Program Co-Manager and the Assistant Director for Energy, Oil and Gas at the North Dakota-based Energy & Environmental Research Center.

作为其iPipe承诺的一部分，在北达科他州的巴肯和二叠纪基础上，轨道搭档已经在卫星和空中行动进行。这项工作旨在进一步开发轨道搭档的基于卫星的高光谱管道监测功能。

“The pipeline industry is continually seeking opportunities to improve pipeline safety. This project brings together our cutting-edge application of remote sensing technology with the very practical needs of oil and gas operators to perform well beyond minimal compliance requirements,” said Orbital Sidekick’s vice president of business development Peter Weaver at the time of the iPIPE announcement.

作为SpaceX Transporter-2的Rideshare Mission的一部分，这是66磅（30公斤）Aurora卫星进入轨道的36个有效载荷之一。

经过两次延误，现在定于6月30日（星期三）下午2:56举行升降机。等。单击此处观看升降机现场直播。
