OSRIR-Rex:The asteroid probe by the US space agency NASA set a new record for the closest-ever orbit of a planetary body made by a man-made spacecraft. The recent manoeuvre has placed the spacecraft into an orbit 680 meters above the asteroid Bennu’s surface for about seven weeks. OSI...
Frank6 confirmed its existence at L~3-5 in Earth’s magnetosphere by in situ particle measurements of the OGO 3 satellite. The definition of ring current has decoupled from geomagnetic storms as the exploration of the planetary magnetosphere progressed. A general ring current refers to the ...
Satellite image above shows ice lost in an area of northwest Greenland. The image, obtained by NASA Earth Observatory in 2022, can be viewed in more detail here.Rumor: My Homeowner's Insurance Includes Flood Insurance.FEMAFrom FEMA: "This is (usually) not true. Homeowner insurance policies ...
The impact of increasing the horizontal resolution in estimating extreme climate variability on a regional scale is first compared against reference gridded datasets, including reanalysis, satellite, and merging products. We used three different groups based on the resolution of the model’s grid (sg...
NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) technology demonstration satellite was launched in late 2000 into a tandem orbit, trailing L-7 by 1 min, and carrying a prototype for L-8, which was launched 13 years later. EO-1’s Advanced Land Imager (ALI) demonstrated numerous improved technologies tha...

The next generation LiDARs, including NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), could revolutionize global estimates of forest structural parameters, including forest height and AGB, and so contribute to REDD+ monitoring and evaluation [60]. To summarise, operational forest degradation ...
satellite platforms, i.e., μFACS, μMAMA, worm imager. Miniaturized character of microfluidic instrumentation, low-weight and low-energy demands fits to the Starlight NASA roadmap program assuming to send small, fully autonomous spacecraft outside our solar system for in-depth behavioral analysis...
In 1975, NASA renamed this satellite Landsat 1, and the subsequent launch of ERTS-B was renamed Landsat 2. In the following decades, NASA launched eight more satellites, and Figure 3 shows when each of them was launched. Along with the development of sensor technology, the number of bands ...
