Explosive volcanic eruptions threaten people's lives, destroy infrastructure and crops in fields and threaten the safety of air traffic even at large distances from the volcano. Existing approaches lack the required spatial and temporal resolution to properly monitor transport and dispersion of volcanic ash clouds. This contribution introduces a photogrammetry-based mission concept using a formation of small satellites. This new approach will make it possible to observe clouds' height at higher frequency and with accuracy comparable with lidar observations.
