Metria is a consultancy company in the field of geographical information and geographical ‎information technology.

We help clients to collect, process and use geographical data as ‎effectively as possible within their operations. The areas of application range from major ‎infrastructure projects, to the construction ‎of technical systems for geographical IT.

The RocketCam™ systems are onboard imaging systems to provide situational awareness on a rocket, spacecraft or other remote platform.

Ecliptic's integrated RocketCam™ systems help you understand and appreciate what your remote, complex system is doing and experiencing in extreme environments.

You don't need a high-end, expensive, science-quality imaging system. RocketCam™ systems provide engineering and PR-quality situational awareness within a small, rugged, cost-effective package, and are available in analog (Analog Video Systems, AVS), digital (Digital Video System, DVS), and hybrid analog-digital configurations (Integrated Video Assembly, IVA).

Typical system lifetimes for the most demanding applications, space, are hours to months to several years. Selected systems have been ruggedized further to allow for addional tolerance to space-radiation effects, enabling lifetimes of 5 years or more.

The Helioviewer project is an online Solar and heliospheric image visualization tool. It is the result of a cooperation between NASA, ESA, and JAXA.

The aim of the Helioviewer Project is to enable exploration of the Sun and the inner heliosphere for everyone, everywhere via intuitive interfaces and novel technology. It's a suite of (mostly) open technologies designed to make populous archives of large images and related data and metadata available over the web, via intuitive interfaces. It grew out of solar physics, where there is a need to be able to visualize large numbers of heterogeneous data-sets that observe phenomena in the inner heliosphere. The interfaces we have developed are designed to let users overlay multiple data-sets and enable exploration on user-defined time-scales and length-scales.

It is consisting of an online tool at Helioviewer.org and its sister application JHelioviewer.

Global Precipitation Measurement is a joint mission between JAXA and NASA as well as other international agencies to frequently (every 3 hours) measure the Earth's atmospheric moisture.

It is part of NASA's Earth Systematic Missions program and is planned to cover nearly the complete Earth. The project office is overseen by NASA's Goddard Spaceflight Center and will provide global rain maps to assist researchers in studying global climate data.

The mission consists of a multiple spacecraft. The core spacecraft, used to measure precipitation structure and to provide a calibration standard for the constellation spacecraft, is scheduled for launch on July 21, 2013 and the low-inclination spacecraft for launch in November 2014 which will provide frequent precipitation measurements on a global basis.

Sat-Coord is a software suite for visual browsing of ITU space database files, intersystem interference calculation and frequency coordination support.

Sat-Coord is a software suite which assists in the processing of satellite network information filed with the ITU, frequency overlap analysis and C/I calculation. Sat-Coord has been developed out of a suite of software tools which RPC Telecom originally produced for its own use in supporting consultancy clients.

The software has undergone significant testing and development over a period of more than ten years and has been used extensively to support the satellite coordination activities of RPC Telecom's clients including YahSat, VINASAT, THURAYA, TONGASAT, SingTel, HELLAS-SAT, SUPARCO, Kypros Satellites, ETISALAT, SES Americom, ICO, Hughes Network Systems, DirecTV, the Cyprus Ministry of Communications and Works, the Nigerian Communications Commission, INDOSAT, Es’hailSat, NewSat, Angkasa, Paradigm and the Government of Australia.

Sat-Coord can be downloaded from here and registered for a free 30 day fully featured trial.

The Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) project of the Ohio State University is an effort to find the best way to discover planetary transits of bright stars and to implement that method by building a telescope and discovering planets.

" In order to learn how to design a survey for transits of bright stars, we start by constructing a model of an all-sky survey for transits. That model points to an optimal survey configuration that uses a small-aperture, wide-field telescope to search for transits of stars in the range 8 < V < 10 magnitude. We used the parameters suggested by the model to build the KELT telescope, and we have deployed it to Winer Observatory in Arizona and begun a long-term survey for planets in a series of fields around the sky. The survey area covers about 25% of the Northern hemisphere and should allow us to detect the most scientifically valuable transiting planets. We examine the performance of the telescope with a number of metrics, and we find that it is performing at the level needed to detect the types of transits we are seeking. We have completed the analysis of the first data set from KELT - a commissioning run from early 2005 that observed the Praesepe open cluster over 74 nights. We obtained light curves of 69,337 stars, and detected 58 long period variables and 153 periodic variables. Sixteen of these are previously known variables, yielding 195 newly discovered variables for which we provide properties and light curves. We also searched for planetary-like transits, finding four transit candidates. Follow-up observations indicate that three of the candidates are astrophysical false positives, with one candidate inconclusively characterized. "

The  Ohio State University telescope is also known as KELT-North since a twin project, KELT-South, was setup in South Africa to cover the South part of the sky.

The KELT-South telescope (Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope - South) is a small robotic telescope that is designed to detect transiting extrasolar planets.

The telescope is owned and operated by Vanderbilt University and is based on the design of KELT-North, which was conceived and designed at the Ohio State University, Department of Astronomy.

The KELT-South telescope serves as a counterpart to its northern twin, surveying the southern sky for transiting planets over the next few years.
