It was my pleasure today to watch SpaceX 's live launch with clear view conditions of the new WorldView Legion 1 & 2 Satellites, built by Maxar Technologies Don't be surprised by the 25-second delay in launch sounds due to the speed of light surpassing that of sound. Hit up the volume to feel the thrust vibrations! Witnessing the return of the first stage and hearing the final boom is always inspiring Wouldview legions provides the highest resolution of satellite imagery commercially available in the world with impressive 30 cm resolution.These two satellites are part of the first block of six WorldView Legion satellites. Once the six satellites join Maxar constellation, it will be able to collect imagery of the most rapidly changing areas on Earth as frequently as every 20 to 30 minutes. Worldview satellite series that started in 2007 managed to revolutionze the earth observation sector with tons of use cases in different fields thanks to its unique data quality and resolution. it's always satisfactory looking at their imagery. . Wishing flight control team best of luck in commissioning the Misson smoothly. #spacex #launch #earthobservation #satellite #remotesensing #rocket #space #earth

Not only radar or geostationary satellites caught the stunning mesovortices of the lake effect in LakeMichigan.Here a new view of them at about 300m resol,by Sentinel3

They: How low is the latency of your BlackSky satellites? Us: Our satellites have such incredible low latency that we can capture the imagery of a plane 🛬 mid-flight. We're practically the paparazzi 😎 of the sky - even birds envy our real-time updates! 📸 Always there to catch the perfect shot, even when planes are striking a pose! ☁️✈️ SATPALDA SATPALDA INTERNATIONAL #satellite #satelliteimagery #realtimemonitoring #satelliteimagery #realtimeupdates

🛰️MISSION UPDATE🛰️ Ubotica’s CogniSAT-6 is a revolutionary AI-enabled satellite mission aimed at delivering 🌍 Live Earth Intelligence in real-time through SPACE:AI technology. Launching on a SpaceX Falcon 9 in March, CogniSAT-6 transforms Earth Observation with autonomous #AI-driven decision making, enabling direct user interaction, while facilitating real-time communication and data exchange. 📣 Fintan Buckley, CEO at #Ubotica commented on the launch: "This will be one of the most intelligent and connected missions ever sent to #space. CogniSAT-6 marks a revolution in Earth Observation by combining onboard SPACE:AI, continuous real-time communications with the satellite, and dynamic observing strategies to deliver Live Earth Intelligence directly to users on Earth." Ubotica has three objectives for the CogniSAT-6 mission: 1️⃣To deliver Live Earth Intelligence insights directly to users, providing immediate, actionable data for a wide range of applications. 2️⃣To autonomously schedule observations using onboard AI-driven decision-making, optimizing the efficiency and effectiveness of satellite operations. 3️⃣To enable direct interaction between end- users and the spacecraft through a mobile app, facilitating real-time communication and data exchange. 📃Full Press Release 👉 https://loom.ly/SK8nwTM #CogniSat6 #EarthObservation #EO #AiInSpace #SpaceAI #OpenCosmos #HAMMER #Satellite #Transporter10 #LiveEarthIntelligence

PDR ACHIEVED FOR #SATURN MISSION The SATURN mission (Synthetic AperTure radar cUbesat foRmation flyiNg) recently reached a significant milestone: the successfully conclusion of the Preliminary Design Review (#PDR). It consisted of a preliminary system study with definition of technical requirements, assessment and critical technologies for a train of 3, 16U-MicroSats equipped with miniaturized #SAR instruments. The PDR closing meeting was held last week with participants Agenzia Spaziale Italiana, OHB Italia S.p.A. as leader of the project and the industrial team (#ARESYS, #AIRBUS and the #PolitecnicodiMilano). The main target of the SATURN mission is to demonstrate the key technology “Cooperative Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (#MIMO) Swarms of SAR MicroSats” for innovative, low cost and versatile #EarthObservation applications. SATURN will become the first ever Space SAR MIMO mission, introducing a #newparadigm in SAR Earth Observation. SATURN will allow low-cost, scalable SAR missions for a quick approach to Space for private and public entities. The distribution of the #keyresources, normally concentrated in a single, large and complex satellite, can be distributed among small-sized and simpler systems, thanks to the proper combination of the #signals from each single node of the swarm. Such #constellation of swarms deployed on different orbital planes allows high revisit time and high performance independently from the available daylight and cloud cover.   The project team has successfully developed and tested three #prototypes of the key technologies for the mission, demonstrating their technological #maturity. SATURN swarms will be a “super Earth Explorer” thanks to its great #versatility and #reconfigurability enhancing real-time #3D imaging.

This web service is a 3D map of Earth's satellites. It allows you to conveniently rotate the globe, showing the current location of all space satellites in real-time. You can see moving chains of Starlink, OneWeb and GPS. Did you know that there are so many of them? #Earth #Satelite #Map #gps #space #globe #starlink

The age of having your plans ruined by unexpected stormy weather and of enduring turbulence on flights is set to come to an end thanks to a new satellite, British scientists have said. From 22,000 miles above the Earth, the revolutionary type of satellite will be able to provide much more accurate weather forecasts by spotting storms before they form, and will also be able to alert pilots to patches of turbulent air so they can fly around them, saving their passengers from having to fasten their seatbelts during bumpy flights. Forecasters typically have to wait for clouds to form before they can spot weather patterns in photographs or radar images, but the new spacecraft will use infrared sensors to track how usually invisible layers of cloudless air are moving at different altitudes in the atmosphere
