He doesn't even need to file a claim. Satellite reads the grass, a number crosses the line, money appears on his phone, he moves his herd, he buys supplemental food, and the crisis that would have unfolded doesn't.
The UN has said that the level of demolitions and destruction there has increased by 9%. That's based on satellite information. So, Israel is still destroying things. Um not enough stuff is getting in, but what's happened is that Hamas have finally agreed, after a lot of work, not
This aerospace facility is also involved in Russia's project to build a low earth satellite network. Uh Keith, what's the military importance first of all of having a low earth satellite network?
there but that said the Russian constellation as they call it will be maybe a fewundred satellites whereas Starlink is thousands and thousands and designed to be scaled even larger and oh by the way several other companies in the west are doing this as well. So it's a pale comparison but it's focused on their immediate
Is Ukraine doing all it can to stop Russia from setting up this Resnet uh satellite system? Well, I think the the Ukrainian's goal is to have a very comprehensive um
Think of the innovation he has introduced, like electric cars, solar panels, tunneling, space travel, satellite, internet access, all these great things. They single handedly made people embrace electric cars.
Science lets us understand the ocean in this way, and the cultural, intuitive thing lets us understand it in this way. Satellites and the system, it is making a difference.
Fortunately, it's not just regulators and researchers who are concerned about this problem. Satellite companies themselves are focused on it. We've all seen what the tragedy of the commons can lead to down here on Earth.
Why was that? The story goes that the military, of course, was a moving force to build the GPS system-- Right. --satellite system. And Reagan got a demo. He said, "This is wonderful.
Which, again, I'm very, very proud of what they're doing. Satellites-- 72 successes. Purple is Rockwell-- I think there was about 38 of those-- and then Lockheed Martin, the green, for 20, and then Boeing-Rockwell-- by that time Boeing had eaten Rockwell.
And this, of course, was predicted quite well in terms of prediction accuracy. Satellites were used and could predict 6.5 days in advance that the storm actually would turn left rather than right and therefore some measures were taken in order to improve that. I should probably also say that in global weather forecast, or if you look outside, and you hear that the weather tomorrow sunny or is stormy, satellites today
We have hundreds of weather radars, commercial air check observations, and then you have 50, 60, 70 research satellites-- weather satellites, which observe the climate, not only at the weather, but also the climate and the condensation in the atmosphere. Now, the first step in a forecast is you must observe what's happening.
people are not listening to our commercials and that's why we're paying good money to put these games on TV so what television did they spread the satellite dishes so there was like 7 Seconds between the broadcast of of radio broadcast and then the TV and sometimes up to 15 seconds that was a way of kind of countering that and the
had not been done before and that was going to be uh where satellite uh but smaller than a planet I
educational purposes or awareness purposes or environmental purposes uh kind of turn them back on ourselves for good reason uh when you're looking at satellite imagery their best satellites have 30 cm resolution which means one pixel in an image repr 30 cm on the ground uh and these satellites are moving at 18,500 mph in sync with the orbit of the earth so that's how
horizon line and you have land and if you turn that upside down it would be very confusing for people but with satellite imagery because everything gets flattened out you can rotate it 0 to 360° and it's still accurate um so when you think about posting images like
parabolic videos, and that's the feeling. You're falling, but you have to satellites will continue to be satellites, and they will continue to send increasingly
But I have a passage in the book about the huge number of people over the years who fell in love with these low earth orbit satellites. And they used that language when they were talking about them. I loved those satellites.
Satellites back then were terribly expensive.
Satellite based personal communicators that will allow you to phone home from anywhere on the planet.
satellite television, "If You Are The One," in which a provocatively dressed young woman are paraded on stage,
satellite channels. And local broadcasters have managed over the years to extend their regional reach, their independent satellite and cable distribution deals with other provincial
satellites are being developed um so I'm going to open it up for
satellite paths for news usage across the atlantic we're now talking only 25
And I sat with that for a really long time. The satellites, they worked exactly as they were designed. They showed the emerging threat. They saw the threat.
But now, a new drought insurance program is coming together. The satellite is able to read the health of the grass. If that health falls below a critical threshold, an automatic payment is sent via mobile money to every pastoralist in
- This satellite seemed to be targeting GPS.
- Global satellite navigation systems underpin aviation and global shipping.
The satellite observations have been done.
first satellite, and the dogs, and finally Yuri Gagarin.
building satellites, looking at telemetry, doing it real time, sitting in the same room as a behavioral scientist, as a sociologist, as a political scientist,
Now one of the really significant things is right here. The satellites that the United States has produced for GPS are phenomenal in their longevity . And the reason that's important is, if you're trying to sustain a constellation of 24 to 30 satellites and the satellite lifetime is
Some satellites of Jupiter and Saturn showed conditions where living creatures can be found.
Personal Satellite Assistant is what PSA stood for.
The satellite's great, but they really wanted some lead time-- what's going to happen in a couple of months.
called Philae, which was landing on the comet and actually taking measurements. The satellite was taking measurements around the comet and the land of the comet itself. 500 billion kilometers away from our Earth this satellite was working.
But it is also surprising that you can measure this space. Our satellites fly in 800 kilometers altitude. And you can measure accuracies of changes in the fractures in the order of millimeters, which is quite astonishing, using a technology called
But with the Google Earth Engine, or project or program really producing an information source which will be of global value for everyone-- large satellites of the traditional sort.
But with the Google Earth Engine, or project or program really producing an information source which will be of global value for everyone-- Our satellites are having 10-meter resolution with a very wide swath.
But with the Google Earth Engine, or project or program really producing an information source which will be of global value for everyone-- Planet satellites are going down, at the moment, the Dove, three to four meters.
Like-- satellite dish? You know when you're getting television?
A satellite dish-- like, the big parabola or the big thing you had on your house that was white.
constellation of four soon to be five satellites there's one launching this week um of some of the highest resolution satellites uh with cameras 16 times greater focal length than a normal DSLR so you can take a picture of a beach ball on the Golden Gate Bridge
I loved those satellites. Those satellites were gorgeous. Many of them used the word "my." They were "my satellites" as though they were in love with these satellites.
So let me put this in context. A satellite constellation conservatively estimated to be worth $6.5 billion is about to be destroyed by its operator, the Motorola Corporation, at a time when any Fortune 500 corporation could acquire it for what amounts to pocket change.
Nazi rocket scientists play a big part in this story. Each satellite communicates satellite directly in front of it.
of satellite technology. We're talking about 1979.
These satellite dishes are very visible on these rooftops.
No satellites. I made her take a Flying Doctor radio, which is the one time she needed it.
small satellites doing more with less.
