We were at Wentworth Falls Australia tonight at 6:30pm trying to catch the devils comet, we didn’t see the comet but I’m pretty sure we seen 3 satellites in a span of 40 minutes, does anyone know anyway to find out what we saw?

I enjoy video recording the night sky. Sometimes I see an object that I am unable to identify.

What is the step-by-step process to identify the object as a satellite?

I assume I start with a star map ......

Any links and advice you can provide is appreciated.

Hello!

I'm an entrepreneur at an early stage start up. I'm in at the stage where I'm testing out my hypothesis. I would like to talk to other entrepreneurs / product managers who use satellite buses for their own businesses.

Is anyone available to fill out a quick 5 min survey or get on a call for a short 10 - 15 min call?

Thanks in advance!

Hi dudes

I'm working with whale conservation programs and we would like to know how many have stranded in the past and try to watch for the future strandings in remote areas.

Do you know for example how much it would be to buy pictures from the COVID period per km / km2 of beaches? How much would it be to order pictures for future campaign? I think a resolution of 80cm would be enough but I don't have any idea of the price difference between 30cm, 1m or 3m...

If you have some useful link or advice I'm all ears :)

I know there is some companies like airbus, planet and maxar but If you know more of it it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

i had this exercise for programming class and it had the coordinates given for a satellite, being the following:

4157245.8043; 671332.0498; 4774713.5642

they are pretty irrelevant to the exercise themselves and so it wasnt really given by what system theyre given. but i still would like to know where this satellite hovers over and at what height, it was a bonus question without any grading for it and it got me really curious.

can anyone help a bro out?

thanks in advance!! :D

I was wondering about the operation of satellite payloads. I.e. do they operate simultaneously or individually.

Like as an example if you had a hyper spectral imager, camera and radar could you run them simultaneously or would they interfere with each other?

The US has 100+ military satellites, mostly surveillance. Russia has earth-based satellite missiles. What's the chances that the US has space-based homing missile pods ready to launch? A 3 kilo missile can track to any orbital position without much fuel and destroy any enemy satellite, even easier than an earth-based one.

What's the chances that the US and China have space-based satellite-specialized missiles? Perhaps the US already has 2500 space missiles?

How can I create good quality and beautiful satellite maps like this? i tried using google earth but it's not really nice. I am willing to use paid services if available. Thank for your help!

I’ve heard stories and seen pictures of how a tiny pebble or even a paint chip can cause massive damage to space stations because they carry so much energy with their speed. My question is how do spaceships avoid these particles? Do we have little adjusters that move it around them? or do we just not have to worry about it at all. Idk!

Would love a long in depth response xoxo

If I send a message from one Inreach device to another Inreach device, is that message routed over the mesh network among satellites between devices or does it have to go to a ground based server for routing?

So, say a G5 Geomagnetic Storm causes long term power grid failures spread around the world that impacts Inreach terrestrial servers and communications equipment. Would the loss of that equipment then cause a corresponding failure to use Inreach for communications?

Edit: Title should have said "...100% rely...". Percent sign was missing.
