Iran has launched two new domestically-made satellites into orbit in cooperation with Russia, using a Soyuz launch vehicle. The Iranian satellites, called Kowsar and Hudhud, were launched into the 500-kilometer orbit of the Earth. These were the first Iranian satellites launched on behalf of the country’s private sector. Weighing 30kg, Kowsar has an estimated orbital lifespan of over three years and can transmit color imaging with a range of 15km and at the rate of 6 frames per second. The satellite images are suitable for use in agriculture, land surveying, and cadaster. Hodhod weighs 4kg and has an orbital height of 500 km with about four years of lifespan. The data from this satellite is also useful for agriculture, mapping, transport, and the environment.

Why have a ZombieSat in orbit, exposed to the hazardous space environment for European taxpayer's money when it could be leveraged for more dense time-series, with opportunity to ditch more cloud cover and have better input for time-series based EO services? I signed the petition, and I strongly suggest you do, too! What are your thoughts on this?
Remote sensing data is powerful. KappaZeta's strength lies in working with radar data, but when we combine it with optical imagery from satellites like Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B, our machine learning models achieve new heights of accuracy and predictive power. 🌍📡 With the newly-launched Sentinel-2C soon joining the Copernicus program, there’s a tremendous opportunity to increase revisit frequency, improve performance, and deliver even more precise insights to our clients. Having three optical satellites in orbit together – Sentinel-2A, Sentinel-2B, and Sentinel-2C – would be highly beneficial due to the increased revisit frequency. But there’s a challenge: due to budget constraints, the Copernicus program plans to decommission Sentinel-2A once Sentinel-2C becomes fully operational. This would limit the potential of having all three satellites active at the same time. We believe Sentinel-2A still has a lot to offer. We support the petition that urges the Copernicus program to extend Sentinel-2A’s operations. You can also voice your support! 👉 https://lnkd.in/gz9qVJnf 🙌 A huge congratulations to everyone involved in the successful launch of Sentinel-2C! #RemoteSensing #Copernicus #Sentinel2 #MachineLearning #EarthObservation #SatelliteData #Innovation #Petition #ExtendSentinel2A

Copernicus should keep Sentinel-2A operational after Sentinel-2C launch

#snsinstitution #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Korea has been developing and launching multipurpose satellites for various applications, including Earth observation, communications, and scientific research. The Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT) series, also known as the Arirang series, is a prominent example. Here are some key details about the series: 1. **KOMPSAT-1**: Launched in December 1999, it was Korea's first multipurpose satellite, providing Earth observation data for various applications, including environmental monitoring and disaster management. 2. **KOMPSAT-2**: Launched in July 2006, it offered higher-resolution images for similar purposes, enhancing Korea's remote sensing capabilities. 3. **KOMPSAT-3**: Launched in May 2012, it provided even higher-resolution images, supporting more detailed Earth observation and surveillance tasks. 4. **KOMPSAT-3A**: Launched in March 2015, it featured an advanced optical imaging system and an infrared sensor, allowing for improved observation capabilities. 5. **KOMPSAT-5**: Launched in August 2013, this satellite carried a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), enabling all-weather, day-and-night Earth observation. 6. **KOMPSAT-6 and Future Satellites**: Korea continues to develop new multipurpose satellites with enhanced capabilities, focusing on higher resolution, better imaging technologies, and expanded applications. These satellites play a crucial role in various fields such as urban planning, agriculture, forestry, environmental monitoring, and national security. They are developed and operated by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), the country's space agency.

Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including geophysics, geography, land surveying and most Earth science disciplines. It is uses to collect information about a geographical area without getting into physical contact with it. The remote sensing course explains what remote sensing is and its real life applications. https://lnkd.in/dXccNQJE

Here , I have prepared the NETCDF MAPPING on RAINFALL DATA of Bankura district of West Bengal with the help of IDW interpolation technique. 📌 Data is collected from NASA POWER WEBSITE in NETCDF format. (https://lnkd.in/gBkzuSHY › data-access-viewer) 📌 NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is a file format for storing multidimensional scientific data (variables) such as temperature, humidity, precipitation,pressure, wind speed, and direction. Each of these variables can be displayed through a dimension (such as time) in ArcGIS by making a layer or table view from the netCDF file. 📌 One of the major advantage of netcdf data is that it is stored in pixel format . #NETCDF #NASAPOWER #IDW #ARCGIS #RAINFALL #CLIMATICCONDITION #BANKURA

The Landsat program has been a cornerstone in Earth observation, providing critical data for environmental monitoring, resource management, and scientific research. Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 are two of the latest satellites in this series, continuing the mission of capturing high-resolution imagery of Earth’s surface. Although similar in many ways, Landsat 9 introduces key improvements that enhance its performance. The attached infographic provides a comparison of these two satellites, comparing them on the grounds of their: ➡️ Orbits ➡️ Objectives ➡️ Instruments ➡️ Applications ➡️ Launch Dates ➡️ Data Volumes ➡️ Spectral Bands ➡️ Spatial Resolutions ➡️ Radiometric Resolutions Both Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 play vital roles in the ongoing effort to monitor and understand global environmental changes. 🌱 While Landsat 8 has provided nearly a decade of invaluable data, Landsat 9 builds upon this legacy with improved radiometric resolution and data capacity, ensuring the continuity of high-quality Earth observation for years to come. 🚀 Binod Kumar, Deepak Rathod, Abinash Majhi, Amrit Kumar, Suman Aich, Santosh Kumar Sadangi🇮🇳, Karan Choudhary, Dr. Sunil Dubey, Sukhanjan Bose, Dr. SUKHEN MAJUMDER, MAusIMM, DEBADYUTI GURIA #EarthObservation #Landsat #EnvironmentalMonitoring #RemoteSensing #ScientificResearch #Sustainability #Innovation #SpaceTechnology

Ubotica Technologies's CogniSat-6 launch to transform Earth Observation Ubotica is set to launch its groundbreaking Live Earth Intelligence mission, CogniSAT-6, in early March. Launching onboard SpaceX's Transporter 10, it will be among the most intelligent and connected missions ever sent to space, featuring breakthrough AI-powered Live Earth Intelligence capabilities for real-time, actionable decision-making. Ubotica's Mission: Live Earth Intelligence The limitation of traditional Earth Observation (EO) lies in its name – observation alone. Images are captured and sent back to Earth, where processing can take days. This delay costs us valuable time and opportunities. The upcoming launch of CogniSAT-6 marks a revolution in Earth Observation. With onboard AI and real-time communications, CogniSAT-6 delivers Live Earth Intelligence directly to users, unlocking multiple applications such as precision agriculture to provide farmers with real-time crop health intelligence for optimized irrigation, fertilization, and yield maximization. Ubotica's mission goes beyond delivering images – we deliver actionable insights for a better planet. #CogniSat6 #EarthObservation #EO #AiInSpace #SpaceAI #OpenCosmos #HAMMER #Satellite #Transporter10 #LiveEarthIntelligence #Space https://lnkd.in/eX6VtnSS
