Europe’s next radar satellite tip-top for flight
Tuesday, 07 February 2023 13:59
Following its arrival at Thales Alenia Space’s cleanroom facilities in the south of France last October, Europe’s next radar satellite, Copernicus Sentinel-1C, has been put through its paces in a series of tests and demonstrated that it is in tip-top condition for flight. Engineers have also carried out the all-important and precise check to ensure that the satellite fits on the adapter that connects it to the rocket that will take it into orbit.

Scientists and government agencies have been worried about the space junk surrounding Earth for decades. But humanity's starry ambitions are farther reaching than the space just around Earth. Ever since the 1960s with the launch of the Apollo program and the emergence of the space race between the U.S. and Soviet Union, people have been leaving trash around the Moon, too.
Today, experts es UConn study clears up cloudy data for improved satellite imagery
Tuesday, 07 February 2023 09:00
A cloudy day can ruin a trip to the beach, a scenic picnic, and lots of other outdoor activities.
But clouds in satellite imagery are also a big issue for remote sensing and land change scientists.
When scientists want to study how land surface is changing, they often use composite images consisting of multiple satellite images of the same place to create a representative "snapshot" CACI contracts with US Army to develop and test demonstration satellite payloads
