TS2 Space - Global Satellite Services

Satellites are artificial or natural bodies that orbit around a planet or celestial body. In the context of Earth, satellites are human-made devices placed in orbit for various purposes, including communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research. Natural satellites, such as the Moon, are celestial objects that naturally orbit a planet. Satellites can vary in size and function, from small CubeSats to large communication satellites. They play a crucial role in modern technology, enabling services like GPS, television broadcasting, and global communications.

Eyes in the Sky: How Satellites Are Revealing Our Changing Climate

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…

Mega-Constellations Exposed: How Swarms of Tiny Satellites Are Taking Over Low Earth Orbit

Introduction: LEO and the Rise of Small Satellites Low Earth Orbit (LEO) generally refers to orbits up to about 2,000 km above Earth’s surface nasa.gov. At these altitudes, satellites circle the globe in ~90–120 minutes, close enough for low-latency communications and high-resolution observations. In recent years, small satellites – typically massing from a few kilograms…

No Signal? No Problem – Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell Satellites Are Eliminating Dead Zones

Imagine sending a text from the middle of the ocean or deep in the mountains with no cell tower in sight. That’s the promise of Starlink’s new Direct-to-Cell technology – a “cell tower in space” that lets ordinary phones connect via satellite when terrestrial coverage is absent. In recent trials, SpaceX’s Starlink satellites have successfully…
