These space tech spinoffs are helping scientists fight climate change

Technology tamfitronics (June 9, 2023) NASA astronaut and Expedition 68 Flight Engineer Woody Hoburg rides the Canadarm2 robotic arm while maneuvering a roll-out solar array toward the International Space Station’s truss structure 257 miles above the Pacific Ocean.(Image credit: NASA)Innovations in satellite, telescope and spacecraft technology are not only essential to space exploration, but are also helping to better monitor and mitigate climate change on Earth.This year, World Space Weekcelebrated globally from Oct. 4 to Oct. 10, is centered on how space technology has proactively enhanced our understanding and management of Earth's climate. For example, numerous Earth-observation satellites closely monitor greenhouse gas emissions and other climate indicatorssuch as extreme weather, deforestation, drought, sea level changes and coastal degradation. This data allows climate scientists to respond more effectively to natural crises. But there are many less...

Backing the Backups: Ensuring satellites are ready to restore communications when ground systems fail

Technology tamfitronics Satellites are the defacto communications technology when disaster strikes because of their resilience, broad coverage and speed to deploy.Space-based connectivity serves as a critical lifeline when natural disasters disrupt cell towers and other terrestrial infrastructure, which are increasingly vulnerable as catastrophes become more frequent due to climate change.However, satellite connectivity still requires ground equipment, which must be shipped to areas that are often hard to reach in times of crisis. Even after arrival, the equipment sometimes needs trained professionals to bring communities back online.Despite the growing need to ensure space-based backups are ready the instant they are needed, support and funding for this critical infrastructure remain uncertain.Self-sufficiencySpaceX prides itself on how intuitive its Starlink low Earth orbit (LEO) broadband terminals are to set up for the average user, compared with legacy satellite services,...
