Earth-Observation satellites provide a detailed understanding of our world, delivering awe-inspiring imagery observing the fragile eco-systems of our planet.   Earth’s natural resources are being depleted and our planet irreversibly impacted by Global Warming, extremes of weather, fossil fuels and precious minerals are running out, large portions of our oceans are dead, void of any life. We lack space to grow food yet global population will increase to 10 billion people by 2050, placing even more demands on our dwindling resources. Space technology is being used on-board satellites to maximise crop growth, police the seas for illegal fishing, prospect for precious metals, monitor in real-time the effects of wildfires/floods to save lives and infrastructure, and to limit the impact of Climate Change.     Modern Earth-Observation satellites use high-speed sensors connected to a payload for image processing: the following photograph shows LVDS testing of this interface with a sensor located on a flex-rigid PCB attached to a bespoke payload processor designed and developed by Spacechips:   Spacechips’ Design Consultancy Department develops bespoke Space Electronics’ solutions for satellite/spacecraft manufactures, as well as advising clients on technology selection, designing, testing, assembling and manufacturing Space Electronics.   Spacechips’ Design Consultancy Department specialises in developing optimised Space Electronics for high performance, small size and low-power consumption at a competitive price: we have delivered solutions to over 70 clients in 25 countries across 19 time zones!   Contact Spacechips to realise your Space-Electronics’ ambitions!

Visualizing Global Carbon Dioxide Emissions: A NASA Perspective Have you ever wondered how carbon dioxide moves through Earth’s atmosphere and shapes our climate? NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS) has created a stunning high-resolution video that brings this invisible gas to life. Here’s what makes this visualization remarkable: ~ Detailed Insights: Using NASA’s GEOS model, the video reveals CO2 emissions from power plants, fires, cars, and industrial facilities, and how they spread globally with wind patterns. ~ Pulsing Patterns: Watch how trees and plants absorb and release CO2 during photosynthesis and respiration, creating mesmerizing day-night cycles. ~ Interaction with Weather: See how weather systems shape and interact with persistent CO2 plumes, offering new perspectives on global carbon dynamics. ~ Groundbreaking Data: This visualization is powered by billions of data points from satellites like MODIS and VIIRS and represents CO2 movement with 100x more detail than typical weather models. 🚨 Why It Matters: Carbon dioxide is primary driver of climate change, and understanding its behavior is crucial for developing strategies to combat global warming. With CO2 levels reaching 427 ppm in 2024—the highest in human history—this visualization highlights the urgent need for climate action. 💡 The Power of Visualization: As NASA climate scientist Lesley Ott says, “If we understand greenhouse gases really well today, we’ll be able to build models that better predict them for decades to come.” 📽️ Watch the video to see CO2 emissions in action and how science and technology come together to tackle climate change. 🌟 #ClimateChange #CO2Emissions #DataVisualization #NASA #Sustainability #Geospatial

🌡️ Excited to share our new paper on Land Surface Temperature (LST) monitoring published in Remote Sensing. We developed a deep-learning-based methodology for LST estimation using multi-source data including Sentinel-2 imagery and meteorological data. We addressed common challenges such as gaps caused by cloud cover, image border limitations, grid-pattern sensor artefacts, and temporal discontinuities due to infrequent sensor overpasses. A fantastic collaborative effort led by Katja Kustura, with invaluable contributions from David Conti and Michael Riffler, supported by European Space Agency - ESA.

2025 will be a year of slow but steady progress for climate monitoring satellites: As satellite technology rapidly evolves and new uses for satellite data emerge, its promise to transform environmental management grows. Today, several key trends are shaping how satellite data is used […] The post 2025 will be a year of slow but steady progress for climate monitoring satellites appeared first on SpaceNews. #neuco

📣 Tanager-1 is ready for liftoff TOMORROW! The launch of the first Carbon Mapper Coalition satellite will scale up global observations of methane and CO2 super-emitters! As society races to confront the climate crisis, we need specific, relevant data on emissions sources worldwide. Advanced monitoring of the “big 2” carbon molecules that heavily contribute to climate warming is a crucial step toward mapping these emissions. Tanager-1 - developed and deployed by Planet with technology from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory - will empower Carbon Mapper to make even more methane and CO2 data publicly available around the globe. Building on the already 15,000 methane observations on the Carbon Mapper data portal, precise and actionable data will continue to help policymakers, governments, community members and industry leaders take action to reduce the number of global super-emitters. #CutMethane #Climate #EmissionsData Learn more: https://bwnews.pr/3AjQpyP

Coooooool! We know that when industry is left to self-report their own emissions, the estimates are often woefully low. Methane leaks and flaring of pollutants can put actual emissions much higher than self-reported estimates. But in many cases, self-reported emissions are the only data that we have. This hyperspectral satellite will detect actual emissions of methane and CO2 in the atmosphere, allowing unbiased monitoring of super emitters from space. Super exciting!

DeepSat 🛰️ | By positioning our satellites in VLEO (250-350km) instead of LEO (500-1,200 km), we can capture higher-resolution imagery, more frequently, and with significantly reduced latency. This proximity to Earth enhances our ability to detect the early signatures of wildfires—those critical, initial hotspots that might otherwise go unnoticed until it’s too late. Our constellation design relies on some specialized SWIR, MIR, and TIR multispectral and SWIR hyperspectral sensors to identify the thermal anomalies and spectral signatures that indicate early-stage fires. By operating closer to the surface, our satellite sensors achieve finer details and superior signal quality, enabling us to pinpoint ignition sites with unprecedented accuracy. Wildfires are growing in frequency and severity, impacting communities, ecosystems, and economies worldwide. The market for advanced Earth observation data—particularly for climate resilience and disaster response—is expanding rapidly.  At DeepSat we’re crafting a next-generation space-based early-warning system. Using laser communication technologies the result is faster alerts and more informed decision-making for firefighting teams and environmental agencies. Governments, environmental organizations, insurers, and critical infrastructure managers increasingly recognize the value of near-real-time data to mitigate damage and strengthen preparedness. By integrating cutting-edge technologies on the VLEO, we’re creating new standards for near real time environmental monitoring—and helping communities adapt to a changing world.
