Short summary
The PICARD Bolometric Oscillation Sensor experiment was the first experiment to simultaneously measure the solar and terrestrial radiation with a single detector. It is a powerful tool for exploring thermal properties of a planetary body. The sensor has high repeatability due to its simplified design. Thus, it has the potential to payload on several microsatellites or even CubeSats and form a consultation array to track small energy exchange of the planet.
