SAR remote sensing methods have evolved to be among the most useful monitoring techniques in modern mining. This article describes some of the newest technologies for keeping mines safe for both mining operators as well Read More
On 23 December 2021, Copernicus Sentinel-1B experienced an anomaly related to the instrument electronics power supply provided by the satellite platform, leaving it unable to deliver radar data. Since then spacecraft operators and engineers have been Read More
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) from space is particularly well suited for change detection on the ground. With its ability to look through clouds and darkness, SAR remote sensing consistently produces high quality, well calibrated imagery Read More
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging from space is in its golden age. With an increasing number of space-based SAR sensors in operation, and an increasingly growing temporal and spatial resolution, combined with the characteristics of Read More
Agriculture is one of the key application areas of satellite data. We have all heard about precision farming using satellite navigation signals and a large array of Earth Observation techniques that help farmers identify soil Read More
Radar satellite imagery (SAR) offers great opportunities for assisting humanitarian operations during war, offering support to displaced people in their own and in hosting countries, like the current situation in Ukraine. It helps relief organizations Read More
One of the biggest challenges of climate change is water-related. Flooding of cities is a natural hazard that occurs in many countries worldwide, generating economic, material and human loss. These floods bring misery to those Read More
The rise in population in the last 100 years has led to a rapid expansion of the world’s cities. As a consequence, there are big infrastructure developments and construction projects, leading to urban change, which Read More
The interpretation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite images involves the identification and measurement of targets in a radar image. This radar image is the result of extensive data processing, including calibration, geometric, and radiometric Read More
The situation “does not look very good” for the Sentinel-1B satellite of the EU’s Copernicus Earth observation programme, confirmed European Space Agency (ESA) Director General Josef Aschbacher and Simonetta Cheli, head of ESA’Read More
