Introduction Satellite phones are invaluable for staying connected in remote or disaster-stricken areas, but travelers must be aware that these devices are not welcome everywhere. In fact, several countries ban or tightly regulate satellite phones due to security and government control concerns en.wikipedia.org. Because satellite phones communicate directly via satellites and bypass local telecom networks, authorities in…

Satellites have become our planet’s orbiting guardians, silently circling Earth and gathering data that help scientists unravel the story of climate change. Using advanced sensors, these high-tech observers measure everything from global temperatures and greenhouse gas levels to shrinking ice sheets and disappearing forests. The result is a revolution in climate monitoring – a wealth…

Chad, a vast landlocked nation in Central Africa, has one of the world’s lowest rates of internet connectivity. As of early 2025, only about 13% of Chadians use the internet, compared to a global average around 60% capmad.com. This places Chad near the bottom globally in internet access. The digital infrastructure is underdeveloped, and most…

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like GPS have revolutionized how we find our position on Earth. Yet, the standard GPS accuracy (on the order of several meters) often isn’t sufficient for missions like precision farming, engineering surveys, autonomous navigation, or tectonic measurements gssc.esa.int. To bridge this accuracy gap, two advanced techniques have emerged over the…

High above Earth, in the crowded expanse of geosynchronous orbit (GEO) some 22,300 miles up, a set of American satellites quietly keeps watch. These are the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites – often dubbed “neighborhood watch” satellites – and they form a covert but crucial line of defense in space. Born in secrecy…
