 “ Satellite imagery (also Earth
observation imagery or spaceborne
photography) are images of Earth or
other planets collected by imaging
satellites operated by governments and
businesses around the world. ”
In past, information on satellite was mostly reserved for
specialists in government or the military. but these days,
almost anyone can access it.

These days,
 Advances in artificial intelligence, companies can more easily extract
the information they need from huge digital data sets, including ones
composed of satellite images.
 The cost of sending payloads, including imaging satellites, into orbit
has dropped drastically.
 In industries images of satellites used to make business decisions on
the fly might seem like science fiction.
 High-resolution satellite images, which used to cost tens of thousands
of dollars, now can be had for the price of a cup of coffee.
 WORKING OF
MORDERN SATELLITE
• The orbits of Earth-observation satellites
IMAGERY generally fall into one of two categories:
 GEO
 LEO

• A Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) satellites are positioned roughly

36,000 kilometers above the equator, where they circle in sync with Earth’s
rotation.
• GEO Satellites appear to be stationary, in the sense that their bearing and
elevation remain constant. Hence, they are said to be a  geostationary orbit.
• A low earth orbit (LEO) satellite is an object, generally a piece of electronic
equipment, that circles around the earth at lower altitudes than
geosynchronous satellites. LEO satellites orbit between 2,000 and 200
kilometers above the earth.
 SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW THE CONTAINER SHIP
THAT WAS STUCK IN THE SUEZ CANAL,EGYPT
• CAIRO - When the Ever Given(Ever green) - one of the largest container
ships ever built, more sideways skyscraper than boat - got stuck in the
Suez Canal for six days in March, it dammed up worldwide shipping and
froze nearly $10 billion in trade a day.

• In this imagery we can identify a large dredging boat attempting to

remove soil from beneath the banked ship along with supporting tug
boats. The imagery also highlights the waiting ships at the north end of
the canal.

• “ When disaster strikes, VHR satellite imagery can provide critical

information for emergency relief operations to evaluate the extent of
damage and get an entire overview of the scene ”, said Adrian
Zevenbergen, Managing Director, European Space Imaging.
• The images of the banked Evergreen cargo ship can aid crisis
management teams with logistical insights such as the localization of
the blockage and assist in identifying points of access for required
ground support.
• Regular monitoring of the site can detect any changes that may be
critical to minimizing or even eliminating further catastrophe.
 CONCLUSION

• Satellites can capture imagery over areas that would be

difficult to access otherwise because of their remoteness.
• With satellites, organizations can easily monitor the
changes taking place at various far-flung locations.
• In today’s world satellite imagery is amazingly abundant
and easy to access.
• In future, Earth-observation satellite data might become
as ubiquitous as GPS.
