Introducing Arc – the world’s first space-based delivery vehicle.

Arc enables the on-demand delivery of cargo and effects to anywhere on Earth in under an hour, and offers unparalleled hypersonic testing capabilities.

Arc reshapes defense readiness by enabling access to anywhere on Earth in under an hour – allowing for the rapid delivery of mission-critical cargo and effects to austere, infrastructure-limited, or denied environments. This capability establishes space as a new global logistics domain, introducing unprecedented speed, reach, and resiliency for national security.

Arc features a versatile payload bay designed to accommodate a wide range of mission-critical cargo and effects. When launched to low-Earth orbit, Arc vehicles will form constellations of varying sizes and locations tailored to each customer’s needs. When called down on demand, Arc spacecraft descend from orbit, maneuver through hypersonic reentry, and touch down safely under parachutes – all autonomously.

@giswqs Thankyou Prof Qiusheng Wu, I was able to follow your instructions and get the tile layers onto Google Earth. Is there a way to add a legend for the layer features?

🚨 Breakthrough in ecosystem monitoring!

We’re releasing the first global Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) dataset at 🌍 30m resolution, spanning 2000–2024 with bi-monthly updates.

🌱 What is GPP?

It measures the amount of carbon that plants take from the atmosphere. In short → it shows us how productive ecosystems are, how much they grow, and how much carbon they can absorb.

🧵 Why this matters & how it can be used 👇

As a small consultant, I had a Microsoft365 Family subscription with my office mates. Everything was fine when the cloud data storage was utilised below 1 TB. It became a complete mess as soon as I wanted additional storage. I had to spend long hours with levels of customer support, it's like a maze of tunnels leading nowhere. OneDrive doesn't have a system for easy transition from one level to another. The attached screenshot shows storage with 2 TB space (1 Tb +1 Tb additional bought), but the OneDrive app shows i have exceeded the storage and I can't save or bulk download. I had to move my 250 GB of space to try to make it operational. In the process, it became messy and I lost a good amount of data. It's a distress for me. And even after moving the data, the app is not relenting. The customer care is sincere, but I haven't seen any results. There is no easy way to escalate the problems.

Here is a tip to see the relief and elevation like given here in this screenshot, adjust the transparency layers, the drainage direction to 0.15, hill shade and slope to 0.1 to 0.2

#bengalururains Here is the app for exploring the Bengaluru elevation and flood-prone areas with layers of information. https://t.co/2ITokwtaus Allow the layers to load fully. Select/unselect layers, use the layer transparency. Click the red point to know flood-vulnerable place names. Click any point to see the rainfall of the last 10 years. Use the profile tool to get the elevation profile between two points

@Adobe Nobody does this for cancelling the subscription. As a first-time subscriber, this rule was not clearly shown when I subscribed. It might have been in tiny terms and conditions, and it's my fault for not reading it! Users beware, this is daylight robbery. If you cancel after 14 days, there is a 50% cancellation fee on the remaining months' charges. Its unfair.
