First, PlanetScope isn’t free. But it’s the sharpest picture of Earth that we can achieve every day. This is why its motto is:“The Entire Earth, Everyday”. Thanks to the lightweight and low-cost constellation of 200+nanosatellites or CubeSats, each and every small payload brings big...
STUDY: CLIMATE CHANGE WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF SATELLITES THAT CAN SAFELY ORBIT IN SPACE- MIT aerospace engineers have found that greenhouse gas emissions are changing the environment of near-Earth space in ways that, over time, will reduce the number of satellites that can sustainably operate ...
According to some reports,this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even(4)___ (sharp) images,with a resolution of up to around 4 inches (10cm).But US law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public,to prevent enemies from using them.But the idea (5)...
SKY SKIMMERS: THE RACE TO FLY SATELLITES AT THE LOWEST ORBITS YET - There's a new race in space, but it's not where you might think. It's happening close to home – in the nearest bit of space, right on the edge of Earth's atmosphere. High in the skies of Earth, a new space...
Select satellites from multiple categories: Space Stations, SpaceX’s Starlink, Communications, Weather & Earth Resources, etc. Use the “Globe view” to see a satellite’s current location on its orbit around the Earth. People across the world have been spotting an amazing line of bright movin...
Sucerquia and colleagues selected five sets of spherical moons and their neighboring planets, including Earth and the moon. For each set, the team added rings to all the satellites, then simulated how the rings would behave over a million years, while being pulled gravitationally by their pa...

And a surprise demonstration of SpaceX’s Starlink internet-beaming satellites being used for in-space communication is expected at some point during the mission. The Crew Dragon spacecraft could make its return to Earth this weekend, potentially in the early hours of Sunday morning, as the Po...
"Most satellites are commercially owned,so if you have money you can buy that imagery, (8)___ means anyone can spy on anyone," he said.At the same time,live,detailed maps of Earth's surface (9)___ aid humanity in amazing ways.Satellite images can help experts track storms as they ...
Emperor penguins (帝企鹅) live on the faraway and very cold Antarcticcoasts. Because of the hard conditions of emperor penguins' natural home, some groups are unreachable for humans, making these birds hard to study.Satellites (machines that have been sent into space and go around the Earth) ...
