Earth Observation Data
Japan's ALOS-2
S ALOS-2, or Daichi-2, is a Japanese Earth observation satellite launched in 2014 by JAXA. Using L-band SAR (PALSAR-2), it monitors disasters, forests, agriculture, and infrastructure in all weather. Asterra utilizes it to detect underground water pipe leaks for utilities.
Argentina's SAOCOM 1A
SAOCOM 1A and 1B of Argentina are Earth observation satellites under the SAOCOM mission. Using L-band SAR, they monitor natural disasters, agriculture, and environmental changes. Asterra utilizes these to detect underground water pipe leaks for utilities.
Eyes in Orbit, Guardians of Earth
Earth observation satellites orbit Earth to gather data on its surface, atmosphere, and oceans using advanced sensors. They aid in weather forecasting, environmental monitoring, disaster management, agriculture, and urban planning. Notable examples include ALOS and Pixxel's Firefly—tools that help us understand and manage our world effectively from space.
Pixxel's Firefly
Pixxel's Firefly is a hyperspectral imaging satellite constellation with cutting-edge technology for high-resolution Earth observation. It enables advanced applications like climate monitoring, resource management, and environmental protection, contributing to a sustainable future.
