abstract = "Annually, severe weather phenomena are responsible for tens of
thousands of deaths and tens of billions of dollars of damage
around the world. In Brazil, unlike other hydrometeorological
events, severe atmospheric events are random and, therefore, do
not have a sociospatial pattern. Because of that, there is a
significant motivation to improve the prediction techniques for
this kind of events, using high resolution numerical models. A
large amount of high-quality observational data is required,
including lightning data in a very short-range. In addition, the
detection of lightning flashes produced by storms is important for
a wide variety of applications and in some areas of scientific
research, which include the understanding of the human action on
the climate and how the climate change can affect the behavior of
storms in long range. One method to monitor the lightning flashes
is the implementation of sensors in satellites to obtain data. In
this sense, the objective of the RaioSat project is to develop
national technology for detecting lightning flashes from the
space, in order to complement the existing data from the ground
detection network, BrasilDAT. The main objective of this article
is to present a methodology for the development of the RaioSat
mission including some parts of the preliminary design and
operational modes. Additionally, the article describes the
expected results and the continuity of the project and a
preliminary analysis of a constellation for future projects.",
