Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy’s Post

Interesting PRC paper reviewing a few decades of US space-based space surveillance satellites (aka SSA / SDA satellites). Includes commentary on SJ-20's maneuvering to avoid GSSAP. Paper available here: https://lnkd.in/gk3Ba9DP (resolves to a journal.angus-publishing'DOT'com URL) For further reference, NRO's launch announcement and press kit on SILENTBARKER is here: https://lnkd.in/gbxYWgew (nro.gov URL) #SpaceDomainAwareness #SensorTargetPairing

Sea | Air | SPACE. The #WaveGlider got you covered. Through space, over-the-horizon communications for the Wave Glider can now be maximized with the integration of advanced satellite communication. With an ever-expanding network of satellites, exceptional coverage and throughput is achievable in the most remote areas across the world’s oceans. #SAS2024 #USV #SIGINT #teamboeing 

A note on active space debris monitoring: Two of the primary factors infuencing the operations of ground-based SLR systems are atmosperic noise (backscaterring, pulse wander and others) and station's location (weather, altitude). While the research in this field has slowly achieving success, most of the time it requires a multi-static approach i vloving more than 1 station. Concept: a constellation of satellites with on-board laser firing mechanism, a set of cameras, and a time tagging equipment that will monitor space debris population from space. All satellites are in a network of inter-satellite links (ISL) that can be implemented using optical comms. #SLR #LEO #Space #spacedebris

Started working on Decentralised Control of Coordinated Motion of Satellites based on Markov Chain, a new arena for Satellite Control for Space Systems.

GOES-U is the final satellite in NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) – R series of four satellites. After it reaches geostationary orbit, approximately two weeks after launch, GOES-U will be renamed GOES-19. Once in operations over the East Coast of North America, the satellite be known as GOES East, and will provide advanced weather imagery, atmospheric measurements and real-time mapping of lightning activity, in addition to critical space weather observations.

Haw can we improve a satellite efficiency? That's how.

After watching endless SportsCenter Top 10 highlights, I’ve finally created my own one: "Top 10 Amazing Facts about Earth Observation Satellites!" Ever wondered which EO satellite is the biggest? Or which one has spent the most time in space? Curious about the largest piece of space junk or which satellite zips closest to Earth? And who snapped the first Earth selfie from space? Click my new video to uncover their incredible stories: https://lnkd.in/ebeqHWr3

Tell us where to point satellites to take high quality satellite imagery! 🛰️ Put the coordinates of the area of interest and why it is important for research purposes in the comments. We will select a few of your suggestions to publish for public use!  Photos from Planet and Umbra satellites usually cost a subscription so this is a unique opportunity to get high resolution snapshots of an area of interest for free. To be considered, any suggestions need to have a clear research purpose. It would help to outline any ongoing research that would benefit from this specific tasking. Want inspiration? Have a little look at last year's successful suggestions: https://lnkd.in/ej5MaGS4  #crowdsource #satellitedata #satelliteimagery #Planet #Umbra #Bellingcat #opensource #opensourcetools #opportunity #tellus

🛰️ Onboard SCV Ultimate Hugo is also LEMUR 2 NANAZ, a 3U CubeSat by Spire, a global provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, offering unique datasets and powerful insights about Earth. 📡 LEMUR 2 NANAZ’s mission consists of detecting and collecting crucial data from both ground-based and space-based signals within the non-geostationary satellite orbit constellations. The data collected can be used to analyze the usage of Ku and Ka-band spectrum across multiple applications, regions, and markets, to identify specific activities and provide Spire with insights into various applications, regional usage, and market trends.

“This is really Phase 1 of a massive undertaking at Tomorrow.io in our space program. We’ll eventually deploy these very exotic wide swath scanning precipitation radars, and that will be the first in a series of satellites to fill out a constellation of wide swath precipitation mapping radar satellites that will give a large field of view below the spacecraft of all of the precipitation with very high detail in three-dimensional space.” 🌧️ Richard Roy , Principal Radar Scientist at Tomorrow.io Tomorrow.io's historic satellite launch last year was just the beginning of a constellation that will transform how we can become resilient in the face of volatile weather worldwide. #weathertech #weatherresilience #operationalresilience #spacetech
