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...
This is every active satellite orbiting Earth Check out an interactive graphic that shows more than 1,200 satellites in our orbit, broken out by size, location and country of origin.
The Cosmos-1500 satellite series have provided all weather radar imagery of the earth's surface to a user community in real time by means of a 137.4 MHz Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) channel. This feature enabled the radar information to be used in direct support of Soviet polar ...
“The real opportunity is making Earth-observation satellites work together to deliver actionable intelligence,” said Brian O’Toole, the CEO of imagery and analytics firm BlackSky. “Most customers don’t want to process raw data. They just want the answers.” read more BlackSky looks to ma...
The key parameters for designing a ground station to receive signals from satellites in orbit are explained in detail under each subsection as follows. 4.2.1. G/T Ratio of Earth Station The 𝐺/𝑇The G/T ratio is a figure of merit of the antenna system that is used to specify the qu...
Many systems on Earth and in space require precise orientation when observing the sky, particularly for objects that move at high speeds in space, such as satellites, spaceships, and missiles. These systems often rely on star trackers, which are devices that use star patterns to determine the ...
This is because even though satellites aren't moving anywhere close to the speed of light, they are still going pretty fast. The satellites are also sending signals to ground stations on Earth. These stations (and the GPS technology in a car or smartphone) are all experiencing higher ...
'Right now, we are in what has to be a Golden Age of asteroid exploration.' Scientists celebrate NASA's latest space rock flyby SpaceX rocket launch creates a 'nebula' in the sky | Space picture of the day for April 21, 2025 The teams announced their findings here today at the an...
A newly added Space Weather Current Conditions panel shows real-time values of solar wind speed, X-ray flux, and geomagnetic indices. Many subscribers say their favorite aspect of the app is the alert capability. The 3D Sun can be set to “ring” when Earth-orbiting satellites detect a ...
