Earth Observation Services

Satellites offer the capability to observe the Earth in a powerful, global way for improved management and sustainability

Earth Observation images show the world through a wide-enough frame so that complete large-scale phenomena can be observed to an accuracy and entirety it would take an army of ground-level observers to match. A single satellite image has the potential to show the spread of air pollution across a continent, the precise damage done in a region struck by an earthquake or forest fires, or the entire span of a 500-km hurricane from the calmness of its eye to its outermost storm fronts. 

Earth Observation images can access remote areas where ground-based data acquisition is not possible. Since they remain in place for long periods of time, satellites can provide us a lot of interesting archived data and shows environmental changes occuring gradually.
