Hyperspectral Imaging from Space

Hyperspectral Imaging from Space

Hyperspectral imaging takes a spectrum of light and divides the light into hundreds of narrow spectral bands. For example, Hyperion has 242 bands at 30m GSD.

Remote Sensing of the Environment

Remote Sensing of the Environment

As our population grows and climate is at risk, remote sensing of the environment solves large-scale environmental issues for the land, ocean and atmosphere.

Polar Orbit vs Sun Synchronous Orbit

Polar Orbit vs Sun Synchronous Orbit

A polar orbit satellite travels pole-to-pole. For a sun-synchronous orbit, it passes over any given point on Earth’s surface at the same local solar time.

Geosynchronous vs Geostationary Orbits

Geosynchronous vs Geostationary Orbits

While geosynchronous satellites can have any inclination, the key difference is that satellites in geostationary orbit lie on the same plane as the equator.
