Until a few years ago, ships relied on extremely expensive satellite GEO links, not fully relatable and heavily affected by weather conditions, with expensive and complex antennas and RF equipment. Now those systems are still an industry standard, but with the advent of LEO, ships from all around the world, can experience “land based” connectivity at a lower cost and with easy implementation. In my opinion, this will change the market in a remarkable way, making accessible cloud-based services for the vessels, dramatically changing the opportunities for both companies and customers. #Connectivity #LEO #Satellite #CruiseIndusty #OneWeb #Maritime #CruisesShips #MerchantNavy

Need to be able to predict, detect and monitor fog in marine environments? How can #satellite products help? The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of our new lesson, "Satellite Applications for Marine Fog": https://lnkd.in/gSAKEB7t. In this case exercise focused on the #greatlakes, explore GOES-R and JPSS satellite products that offer improved capabilities for observing and monitoring pre-fog conditions in marine environments and for detecting and monitoring subsequent marine fog formation and evolution. #NOAASatellites #marineforecasting

🌎 A multi-mission #satellite for #Brazil and #LatinAmerica 🛰 EUTELSAT 65 West A is a tri-band #satellite designed to open new markets and target fast-growing #video and #broadband markets across Brazil and Latin America. 🇧🇷 With 100% penetration of Brazilian #cableoperators, the 65° West video neighbourhood is Eutelsat’s key satellite for Brazil to reach +12 million homes. 💡 Did you know? The EUTELSAT 65 West A satellite was built by Space Systems Loral (SSL) in California, and it is based on the SSL 1300 satellite platform. #Eutelsat #EutelsatAmericas #GEO #satcoms #satellite #satellitetechnology #video #connectivity

Thanks to Capella Space, the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) gained access to a #new synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image of Anacoco Island and its surroundings. The image is the first satellite capture reviewed by CSIS showing the Bailey bridge, which is now in use to transport equipment and vehicles to Anacoco. Did you know, SAR image is particularly helpful in identifying man-made structures, especially amid Venezuela's rainy season?

WA Array Phase 2 is airborne over the Goldfields WA Array seismic and Magnetotelluric (MT) stations are sometimes deployed by helicopter, which allows the team to access remote areas of the State. Seismic stations were deployed in the northern section of the Eastern Goldfields and the team were accompanied by the Darlot Native Title Group. The stations will remain in the ground for one year to help GSWA better understand the structure of the Earth's crust in this region. https://ow.ly/IHCt50QZltR #WAArray

We're always spreading the word about how our snazzy positioning solution is, it is literally poles apart from the rest! That's not just because it can position assets to better than 5cm, it also covers the entire globe, we're speaking pole-to-pole here!! ✨ 🌎 Recently we've had a number of vessels doing their thing in the Arctic Circle using our positioning service, including one working above 70 degrees latitude. Conventional services struggle to operate this high North, but the DDK Service worked a treat! 👏 So how do we do it? Well we use Iridium satellites which provide exceptional polar coverage, and that, coupled with our clever algorithms, it allows us to provide a positioning solution like no other. All whilst ensuring #accuracyeverywhere. 📍 Find out what makes our service unique in the image below... #oilgas #oilandgas #offshore #shipping #maritime #marineindustry #resilience #satellite #gnss #accuracyeverywhere

Celebrating 22 years of success! 🚀 On this day, January 24, 2002, INSAT-3C was launched into a geostationary orbit by Ariane5V147. 🛰️ INSAT-3C, with its Fixed Satellite Services (FSS), Broadcast Satellite Services (BSS), and Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) transponders, continues to be a game-changer in satellite technology. This milestone marked a significant step forward, as INSAT-3C extended the legacy of INSAT-2DT and INSAT-2C, contributing to the evolution and augmentation of the INSAT system's capacity. 🌐 It is the second satellite in the INSAT-3 series, following the successful launch of INSAT-3B in March 2000. Notably, INSAT-3C played a pivotal role in supporting the Swaran Jayanti Vidya Vikas Antariksh Upagraha Yojana (Vidya Vahini), providing the initial set of transponders for interactive training and developmental communication. 📡 This initiative has been instrumental in giving a boost to the training and developmental communication channels of the INSAT system. 🌌 #INSAT3C #SatelliteTechnology #Innovation #SpaceExploration
