16 changes to Obsearth in three months, almost none of them from our roadmap.

They came from people who told us what needed fixing. Best input we've had.

[Obsearth @spectatorearth]

Obsearth opened to everyone on 23 June. Three months, four releases, 16 changes.

Most of it answering one question: is this pass worth opening?

· cloud cover on every pass, forecasts labelled as forecasts
· past acquisition plans, browsable
· hover any footprint for sensor, swath, orbit, path
· plan limits shown, not discovered

All of it from user feedback.

Największy w historii New Space kontrakt podpisany 1,7 mld euro (7.1 mld PLN)! ICEYE dostarczy system wywiadowczy SPOCK🖖Republice Federalnej Niemiec. Będzie to największa konstelacja SAR na świecie. Każdy z tych satelitów będzie posiadać podzespoły budowane i projektowane w Polsce! Działamy!
Wesołych Świąt!

Geosynchronous satellites, which send internet and phone data to places where regular cables can’t reach, are broadcasting sensitive data that anyone with about $600 worth of equipment can intercept, a team of researchers has found.

🇵🇱 🇫🇮 🛰️ Iceye Gen4 zmierza osiągami w kierunku legendarnych KH-11

Satelity Gen4, wysłane w misji Transporter 13 uznano właśnie za operacyjne i stają się dostępne dla klientów.

Najbardziej zaskakującą informacją jest, że nowe anteny „wyciągają” rozdzielczość 16 cm/px 🫣

New analysis: The Future of Landsat (and Civilian Earth Observation)

NASA has issued a new RFI to explore whether the private sector can take on Landsat continuity from 2030, delivering science-grade data for open access with a radically smaller budget.

Humanity has prevailed (for now!)

I'm completely exhausted. I figured, I had 10h of sleep in the last 3 days and I'm barely alive.

I'll post more about the contest when I get some rest.

(To be clear, those are provisional results, but my lead should be big enough)

By 2030, the economic opportunity afforded by #EarthObservation insights is projected to surpass $700 billion, as well as directly contributing to the abatement of 2 gigatonnes of greenhouse gases a year.

In collaboration with @Deloitte, this report highlights the untapped potential of monitoring and analysing #Earth from #space.

With the involvement of 40 industry leaders, this report explores strategic approaches to maximize EO's global impact. Discover more here: https://t.co/ynaRaCshUv

99% of the internet network runs through submarine cables. There are over 420 submarine lines in the world, totalling 1.3 million km, over 3 times the distance from Earth to Moon.
