The 1st time I seen drones in space was in Star Trek Discovery, 4yy ago. It's mezmerizing to see how much the time period between sci-fi and reality has shortened. Especially if you realize that almost 30 years passed between Kirk's communicator and the Motorola Startac #innovation #engineering #Technology #futurism #drones #spacerace #spacetech #geek #startrek #scifi #motorola #startac

Active vs. Passive Sensors in Remote Sensing Ever wondered how satellites and aircraft gather data about our planet? Remote sensing instruments can be classified as Active or Passive, based on how they collect energy. Here’s a quick comparison: Both types of sensors play a critical role in Earth observation, providing complementary insights into our planet's atmosphere, surface, and ecosystems. Which type of sensor do you find most fascinating?

Strong early-stage space teams know how hard it is for spacecraft exploring planetary bodies to not crash into obstacles or objects while exploring terrain. Steep, slippery slopes can cause rovers to slip and lose traction. Rugged terrain with many rocks, holes and traps can damage wheels and chassis. Limited visibility from orbital images don't show all the hazards at ground level. Autonomous navigation systems can be tricky when faced with unexpected obstacles. #space #newspace #deepspace #aerospace #everythingspace 📸: NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
