Earth-Observation satellites provide a detailed understanding of our world, delivering awe-inspiring imagery observing the fragile eco-systems of our planet.   Earth’s natural resources are being depleted and our planet irreversibly impacted by Global Warming, extremes of weather, fossil fuels and precious minerals are running out, large portions of our oceans are dead, void of any life. We lack space to grow food yet global population will increase to 10 billion people by 2050, placing even more demands on our dwindling resources. Space technology is being used on-board satellites to maximise crop growth, police the seas for illegal fishing, prospect for precious metals, monitor in real-time the effects of wildfires/floods to save lives and infrastructure, and to limit the impact of Climate Change.     Modern Earth-Observation satellites use high-speed sensors connected to a payload for image processing: the following photograph shows LVDS testing of this interface with a sensor located on a flex-rigid PCB attached to a bespoke payload processor designed and developed by Spacechips:   Spacechips’ Design Consultancy Department develops bespoke Space Electronics’ solutions for satellite/spacecraft manufactures, as well as advising clients on technology selection, designing, testing, assembling and manufacturing Space Electronics.   Spacechips’ Design Consultancy Department specialises in developing optimised Space Electronics for high performance, small size and low-power consumption at a competitive price: we have delivered solutions to over 70 clients in 25 countries across 19 time zones!   Contact Spacechips to realise your Space-Electronics’ ambitions!

Five reasons Satellite Tasking is crucial for climate change action. Climate change demands innovative solutions, and advanced satellite tasking is at the forefront of this battle. Archived satellite imagery falls short of the precision, timeliness, and depth of data needed for critical climate action. Here's why investing in advanced satellite tasking enables more informed intelligence: 1️⃣ Targeted and timely: Satellite technology lets you capture what you need and when you need it. This level of control is crucial for monitoring rapid environmental changes such as fire, flood, landslide, and other disasters. 2️⃣ Cutting-Edge technology: It employs advanced imaging techniques that provide unparalleled insights into biomass, canopy heights, and carbon sequestration potential. 3️⃣ Scale of operations: Both global and local factors influence climate change. Satellite tasking allows medium and very high-resolution datasets to meet the scale requirements. Satellite tasking ensures you are ahead of the curve. 4️⃣ Beyond the Visible Spectrum: Hyperspectral, including Greenhouse Gas (GHG) sensors, can capture data invisible to the human eye, offering deeper environmental insights than traditional optical imagery. The proliferation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors works 24x7 to help not miss a beat.   5️⃣ Near-Real-Time Intelligence: Tracking and taking action is urgent, whether it concerns deforestation or spikes in GHG emissions from known or unknown locations. By leveraging advanced #satellite #tasking, we are not just observing our changing planet—we are equipping ourselves with the tools to make informed decisions and take meaningful action against climate change while also monitoring the impact of our actions on the set goals. 🌏 Eartheye Space makes Climate Action uber-easy. 🛰 Ask for a demo at www.eartheye.space or register at tasking.eartheye.space 💲 Pay as you task, from your annual US$5,000 (min) credit. ✅ Available for any size organisation. ♻ Please repost or share with anyone you know who may be interested in solving strategic and operational issues with Earth Observation. #ClimateAction #Satellites #Sensors #Tasking #EnvironmentalMonitoring #EarthObservation #RemoteSensing #GeoSpatial #EartheyeSpace

Imagine someone“selling sunlight after dark.” Reflect Orbital plans to use space mirrors to redirect sunlight to Earth, extending solar farm hours and lighting up critical zones at night. It sounds futuristic, but the potential risks deserve a closer look. The Risks We Can’t Ignore Disrupting Nature’s Night: Nocturnal animals rely on darkness, and excess light could throw entire ecosystems off balance. Even for humans, nighttime light exposure can impact sleep and health. Adding Heat, Not Just Light: More sunlight means more heat. Extra infrared radiation could amplify warming if these mirrors aren’t carefully managed. Space Junk Concerns: Adding satellites increases collision risks, creating debris that can linger for decades. And when these mirrors eventually burn up, they may release pollutants into the atmosphere. Reflect Orbital’s concept is ambitious, but responsibility is key as with any new tech. Clean energy should solve problems, not create new ones. Would you say space mirrors are a clean energy breakthrough or a risky gamble? #ReflectOrbital #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #EnvironmentalImpact (Image: telegraph)

Could you have sunlight at night ❓ That's the ambitious plan of a company called Reflect Orbital. They intend to deploy satellites equipped with large mirrors that can redirect sunlight from #space back to Earth. The concept is to utilize the constant availability of sunlight in space, reflecting it to specific areas on #Earth that need illumination during nighttime. This futuristic approach aims to provide a clean energy solution by extending daylight hours and reducing the dependence on artificial lighting and the power grid. However, critics and experts have raised several significant challenges: A significant portion of sunlight would be lost in transit through space and the #atmosphere, resulting in a low-efficiency solution. The endeavor would be extremely costly, involving expenses for launching, maintaining, and accurately positioning the satellites. In addition to technical challenges, there are concerns about potential disruptions to #ecosystems and increased light pollution, which could impact both humans and wildlife.
