HTS Technology Overview High-Throughput Satellites (HTS) are spaceborne relays designed to deliver dramatically higher data rates than traditional wide-beam satellites. They achieve this through numerous narrow spot-beams and advanced on-board processing, allowing aggressive frequency reuse. In practice, an HTS can deliver multiple times the throughput of a legacy FSS satellite using the same spectrum assets.publishing.service.gov.uk.…

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…

Definition and Basic Principles Satellite imagery refers to images of Earth (or other planets) collected by orbiting satellites. These images are a form of remote sensing, meaning the data are acquired from a distance without direct contact. Satellites carry sensors that detect electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted from the Earth’s surface. Most imaging satellites use passive sensors that rely…
