Does Inreach/Iridium 100 rely on ground based relay/servers?

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.

JSC Vimpel

Does anyone know if vimpel gates any data from the orbit. Or if they have any constellation of satellites in orbit to get the data?

Satellite images of the same mountain a few hours apart.

I'm doing a school project where I have to recover the shape of a mountain using shadows cast on the moutnain by the mountain itself. I have a hard time looking for satellite images that will help me achieve my goal. Do any of you know where it is possible to find satellite images which will fulfill my needs?

Thank you

How busy does it really look like in space?

I've seen many renderings of how many satellites are surrounding Earth. e.g. https://preview.redd.it/px48ow0nk5o41.jpg

I'm curious, if someone was looking out the window, from a similar distance, would they even see anything floating around? given the earth to object size ratio...

A year of weather 2023

A whole year of weather in just 10 minutes?! That’s right, our annual compilation of worldwide weather is now available! 🌧️☀️🌫️❄️

This visualisation allows you to relive the major weather events of 2023 on a global scale. Thanks to the help of our partners, we are able to get a full view of the entire planet 🛰

While it might be easy to get lost in the hypnotic clouds swirling across the screen, we are also reminded of the many extreme weather events to have taken place last year. The planet was hit by a number of storms, wildfires and heatwaves. Major storms have been labelled throughout the video, and are labelled from light yellow to red depending on their intensity.

See how the weather looked from space in your region and watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4rRvUXSgnA
