Watching Our Planet from Above
In an era where climate change, natural disasters, urban expansion, and environmental degradation pose growing challenges, the ability to monitor Earth in real time has become more crucial than ever. This is where Earth Observation (EO) satellites play a transformative role. These satellites, orbiting hundreds of kilometers above us, silently capture vital data that helps scientists, governments, and industries make informed decisions every day.
Earth Observation satellites are specialized spacecraft designed to collect data about Earth’s surface, atmosphere, and oceans. Equipped with advanced sensors and cameras, they observe the planet in visible, infrared, and microwave wavelengths.
Unlike communication or navigation satellites, EO satellites focus primarily on environmental monitoring, resource management, and scientific applications.
