One of the key benefits of Earth Observation (EO) is the principle of data continuity – this is having uninterrupted, consistent, long-term datasets available over large areas. This is critical for a variety of reasons, such as understanding what is … Continue reading
Earlier this month we highlighted a project we are currently engaged in, looking at how satellite imagery is being used within agriculture sector in the UK. This week we were interested to see a couple of reports describing how satellite … Continue reading
This week we’re focused on how satellite imagery can help support farming. We’re currently visiting Agricultural Shows as part of a project to understand how satellite imagery is being used in agriculture in the UK and were drawn to a … Continue reading
This week we’re offering you a fantastic opportunity to get involved with Earth Observation (EO) from your own home, through an exciting citizen project to classify clouds on satellite images, together with less positive news on potential EO budget cuts … Continue reading
This week, an article on the NASA Earth Observatory caught our eye. It described a new satellite bathymetry technique developed to map shallow coastal areas using Landsat data. Satellite bathymetry, measuring water depths from space, is an area of interest … Continue reading
Today we’re looking at the Earth Observation (EO) satellite launches expected this week, together with a shout-out to one of the longest datasets in the industry! SpaceX Launches Note: The expected launch of the two WorldView-Legion satellites detailed below did … Continue reading
Last week, the White House allocated a $25.4 billion budget to NASA for the 2025 financial year, which runs from the 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2025, and this includes its Earth Observation ambitions. This represents $2.3 billion less than … Continue reading
Wildfires, storms and flooding have hit the headlines numerous times this year with climate change a key factor, but the latest impact is on the Panama Canal that has had to reduce the number of ships passing through it. The Panama … Continue reading
It’s not often that satellite ground-based calibration methodology hits the headlines, but it happened last week. This was because the United States Bureau of Land Management announced that following a request from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), approximately … Continue reading
This week three separate reports caught our attention about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is impacting the space and Earth Observation (EO) communities. This covers both upstream with AI controlling satellites, and downstream activities with data applications. China Using AI To … Continue reading
