Unusual satellites for Earth observation

Thanks to the photographs taken from satellites, we can go almost anywhere in the planet, and to consider all its corners. Update photos occurs about every two weeks. Will Marshall offers his new invention - the tiny satellites that can show the changes taking place on our planet, almost in real time!

Apply it in standard situations are too expensive and not very nice to people for whom privacy is not an empty phrase, but in certain situations this can save shooting someone's life. Commercial satellites are usually too slow, cumbersome, it costs a lot of money and do not always produce the desired result. A project has been started Planet Labs to make them ultra-compact, small and very powerful. These satellites help monitor climate change, deforestation, melting glaciers, growing and harvesting harvest and many other data that will allow us a more complete picture of our state planet.
