Earth Observation (EO) refers to the collection of information about Earth’s land, oceans, and atmosphere via remote sensing technologies – primarily satellites, but also drones, aircraft, and ground sensors. In the context of disaster management, EO provides a “big picture” perspective of events as they unfold. This real-time, wide-area view is transforming how we prepare…

Imagine a satellite that not only takes pictures of Earth, but can also identify what materials compose each pixel of the image. This is the promise of hyperspectral imaging – a technology giving satellites “super-vision” across hundreds of colors beyond human sight. Hyperspectral sensors capture detailed spectral fingerprints of objects by measuring reflected light in…

Imagine peering down at Earth through thick clouds or the dead of night and still seeing clear images of the surface. Traditional optical satellites are blind in such conditions – in fact, at any given moment about 75% of the planet is obscured either by cloud cover or darkness, making it inaccessible to optical imaging…

The Trump administration's proposal to cut NASA’s budget by 24%—with a 47% reduction for the Science Mission Directorate—threatens 41 missions, including Juno, New Horizons, and Mars Sample Return. Lawmakers and experts warn this move could cripple U.S. space science. Jim Green cautions, “We would be turning off some fabulous missions that are doing extremely well.”
Researchers at ASTAR GIS developed Fragle, an AI algorithm that analyzes DNA fragment sizes in blood to monitor cancer progression. This method offers minimally invasive, accurate detection of tumor DNA, outperforming traditional sequencing. Dr. Anders Skanderup stated, "We aimed to develop a simpler, more accessible, and efficient approach for precise monitoring without complicating clinical workflows."
