Knowledge beyond our planet: space-based data centres
Write a comment
Space is changing, and the number of actors operating in orbit is increasing. Meanwhile, the amount of data collected by satellites is increasing as well. This data-treasure is priceless, supporting human and robotic exploration of space, helping us to take care of our planet as well as to unveil the most distant secrets of the Universe. However, one of the main challenges of nowadays space activities is downloading data from space to Earth. IBM and KP Labs together with ESA is forecasting the future of technology by imagining space-based data centres.

Something that nobody has ever thought of before is - smartphone cameras have space origins. It seems like a very random and spontaneous thought that doesn't even make sense. How can a smartphone camera be connected to space? Is it possible that your camera, one of your Samsung cell phone parts, has such an interesting invention story? Detecting nitrogen dioxide from power plants with Sentinel-2
Write a comment
Atmospheric nitrogen dioxide is a harmful pollutant with significant impacts on air quality, climate and the biosphere. Although satellites have mapped nitrogen dioxide concentrations since the 1990s, their resolution was generally too coarse to pinpoint individual sources like power plants.
In a recent study, researchers used imagery from Copernicus Sentinel-2 to observe nitrogen dioxide plumes from power plants for the first time – marking a significant advancement in air pollution monitoring.

Rocks newly exposed after millennia beneath ice reveal that tropical glaciers have shrunk to their smallest extent in over 11,700 years. This discovery indicates the tropics have warmed beyond levels seen in the early Holocene epoch, according to researchers from Boston College, whose findings were published in Science.
Scientists have anticipated that glaciers would retreat as tropical te AFWERX, MTSI Evaluate Electric Vertical Takeoff, Landing Aircraft For Military Applications
