Argentina’s Space Industry Is Taking Off: Inside the Satellite Boom and What’s Next

Key Facts Historical Evolution of Argentina’s Space Industry Argentina’s journey into space began remarkably early. In the 1940s, visionary engineer Teófilo Tabanera formed the Sociedad Argentina Interplanetaria, making Argentina the first Latin American country with a spaceflight organization en.wikipedia.org. By 1960 – nearly a year before humans reached space – Argentina established the National Commission for Space Research (CNIE) with Tabanera at the helm en.wikipedia.org. Throughout the 1960s, CNIE and the Air Force’s research institute launched a series of indigenous multistage high-altitude rockets (Alfa Centauro, Beta Centauro, Orión, Canopus, etc.), successfully sending scientific payloads to the upper atmosphere en.wikipedia.org.

Canada’s Space Boom: Inside the Great White North’s $5B Space & Satellite Surge (2025 Report)

Key Facts and Figures (Quick Reference) Historical Overview: From Pioneering Satellites to a National Space Agency Early Pioneers (1960s–1970s): Canada’s space journey began boldly in the Cold War era. In 1962, Canada stunned the world by launching Alouette-I, becoming the third country to design and build its own satellite asc-csa.gc.ca. Alouette’s success in ionospheric research established Canada’s reputation for scientific satellites. By the late 1960s, Canada was also a telecommunications trailblazer – 1969 saw the creation of Telesat Canada as a domestic satellite operator asc-csa.gc.ca, and in 1972 Anik A1 was launched, making Canada one of the first nations with

Watch Earth Live from Space – Your Ultimate Guide to Real-Time Satellite Imagery

Watch Earth Live from Space – Your Ultimate Guide to Real-Time Satellite Imagery

Near-real-time satellite imagery is common: Landsat 8 images can appear within seconds of downlink, NASA Worldview layers update within about 3 hours, and geostationary weather satellites refresh every 5–15 minutes. The ISS HD Earth Viewing Experiment streams live video of Earth from about 400 km up with roughly 1-second latency, and the view shifts as the station orbits about 16 times per day. NOAA’s Earth in Real-Time weather map updates GOES-East and GOES-West every 5 minutes for cloud imagery, with full-hemisphere views about every 15 minutes and resolutions around 0.5–2 km. NASA Worldview offers more than 1,000 imagery layers updated

Live Satellite Views on the Internet: Platforms, Tools, and Trends

NASA Worldview offers over 1,000 imagery layers from NASA and partner satellites, with a typical 60–125 minute delay after capture. NOAA GOES weather satellites update the continental United States every 5 minutes or less and the full hemisphere every 15 minutes, enabling near real-time weather loops. Landsat 8 imagery is available on the USGS server within seconds of downlink in some cases. Sentinel-2 imagery provides new images of any location roughly every 5 days at 10-meter resolution. Planet Labs operates about 200 Dove nanosatellites that image the entire land surface daily at 3–4 meter resolution, and also runs SkySat satellites

Bunker‑Buster Earthquake: New Satellite Images Expose Fordow’s Ruin—What the Bombs Hit, What Survived, and Why It Matters

Bunker‑Buster Earthquake: New Satellite Images Expose Fordow’s Ruin—What the Bombs Hit, What Survived, and Why It Matters

Shortly after 02:00 local time on 22 June, seven U.S. B‑2 Spirit bombers dropped 14 MOPs on Fordow with Tomahawks suppressing Iranian SAM sites. Maxar/Planet imagery shows six precisely spaced entry craters along the ridge above the centrifuge halls, forming a textbook double‑tap pattern consistent with the MOP fuse sequence. Damage signatures include collapsed tunnel portals, landslide debris, scorched support buildings, and dust plumes obscuring the cliff face and vent shafts. Fordow is carved 80–100 m inside Kuh‑e‑Fordow mountain, reinforced by concrete and IRGC air‑defence rings, and was designed for 3,000 centrifuges with IR‑6 cascades enriching to 60%.

Stunning Satellite Images Expose the Full Impact of U.S. Airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan Nuclear Sites — What the Pictures Reveal, Why They Matter, and What Happens Next

On 21 June 2025, the U.S. strike package used B-2 launched GBU-57 bunker-busters and sea-launched Tomahawks to damage Natanz and Isfahan and cut external power to Fordow. Maxar Technologies and Planet imagery circulated minutes after President Trump’s confirmation, enabling open-source observers to map bomb craters, scorched roads, and collapsed roofs at Natanz and Isfahan. IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said the sudden loss of external power made it “very likely” the roughly 15,000 Natanz centrifuges were badly damaged or destroyed, based on satellite evidence. Fordow is buried 80–90 meters inside Mount Kuh-e-Daryacheh and was designed to withstand direct air attack, with

Space Showdown: How Military Satellites Are Shaping the Ukraine‑Russia War

SpaceX deployed 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine within days of the 2022 invasion, rising to about 15,000 active terminals by June 2022, with Ukraine at one point accounting for roughly 58% of global Starlink traffic. Russia attempted to jam Starlink signals on the battlefield, SpaceX rolled a software update to bypass the jamming, and by 2023–2024 reports noted illicit Starlink terminals in Russian hands that had to be disabled. On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a cyberattack against Viasat’s KA-SAT network that crippled thousands of Ukrainian modems and disrupted satellite links across Europe.

How Satellite Technologies Are Transforming Ukraine: From Warzones to Wheat Fields

In August 2022, a Ukrainian charity crowdfunded access to an ICEYE SAR satellite, providing 24/7 all-weather imaging from one satellite and access to ICEYE’s full constellation for over a year. Commercial high-resolution imagery from Maxar, Planet Labs, and BlackSky documented battlefield events such as Russian troop buildups and missile strikes. Analysts have described the Russia-Ukraine war as the most documented conflict in history thanks to the avalanche of satellite data. After the 2022 invasion, SpaceX shipped thousands of Starlink user terminals to Ukraine, and by 2024 Starlink was a reliable frontline communications partner.

Satellite Imagery: Principles, Applications, and Future Trends

The first space images were captured in 1946 from a sub-orbital U.S. V-2 rocket at about 105 km altitude. The first actual satellite photograph of Earth was taken on August 14, 1959 by the U.S. Explorer 6 satellite. In 1960, TIROS-1 transmitted the first television image of Earth from orbit, a milestone for weather observation. Landsat 1, launched in 1972, began the longest-running civilian Earth-observation program with a 50-year archive, and Landsat 9 was launched in 2021 to continue it.

Sky Scanners: How SAR Imaging Satellites Are Redefining Earth Observation

Sky Scanners: How SAR Imaging Satellites Are Redefining Earth Observation

About 75% of the planet is obscured by cloud cover or darkness at any moment, making optical imaging inaccessible. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites actively illuminate the ground with microwave radar and synthesize a large aperture by moving the antenna to produce high-resolution images. SAR can operate day or night and in all weather, providing 24/7 imaging. Sentinel-1 (ESA) comprises satellites Sentinel-1A launched in 2014 and Sentinel-1B in 2016, with C-band SAR offering ~5 m resolution in high-resolution modes and 250–400 km swaths, and a 12-day revisit.
