Satellites orbiting the Earth have captured the effects of a "polar vortex" on camera, as swathes of the U.S. are gripped by Arctic conditions. One image taken by the National Environmental ...
But either way, NASA satellites (and those of other agents) will be there to survey the way our environment is changing, and how we react to that change. extreme weather NASA polar vortex snow Get ...
NASA also relies on Svalbard's satellite ground stations for communication with polar-orbiting satellites. As a result, Longyearbyen sees internet speeds that rival those in many cities on the ...
Both satellites are equipped with next-generation tools to observe our planet, but the difference is that JPSS orbits Earth in a polar, non-geosynchronous orbit 512 miles (824 kilometers ...
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday achieved a historic milestone with its 100th mission and revealed an ambitious future plan of crossing the next 100 launches in five years.
On December 30, ISRO's workhorse, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), lifted off with twin 220-kg satellites for space and released in a 470-km circular orbit. Docking is a complex ...
