As it states, first commercial satellite producing colour video from space - (and a pretty cool video!) - from the company I work for, Earth-i. https://t.co/Rr8YGeSHAV
Earth-i (a UK company in Guildford) launched a prototype of the world's first full-colour video satellite constellation today. Here's a clip of the satellite being ejected at 505km, after its launch from India! https://t.co/Az3wTaj0ta
We're thrilled that today has been such a huge success! Here's a little clip of #VividX2 being deployed from the #PSLVC40 today at 505km above the #Earth. 🌍
My handle is about to change from CultureMan8 to SportingTales1 to match my other social media, and to better reflect there are and will be other stories. Fear not, though, Culture Man is still out there, swooping across the Winchester skies. Happy New Year from Culture Man!
