Part of the discussion was about #iaru and the problems Canadian satellite projects have had with coordination. Establishing a national club should help with this.

Satellite imagery has really increased our knowledge base.
Imagine when we have a great deal more #LiDAR data for the #earthworks regions in the #Amazon. So much remains hidden in #satellite imagery. With satellite imagery surveys, imagery time of year is very relevant to what is seen or not seen. Also, sometimes field burning reveals a lot if the satellite imagery timing is just right. Check out this example, from -15.5276, -65.692857.

A new #study published a few days ago is evaluating the #sustainability of Low-#Earth orbit #satellite broadband #megaconstellations.
The authors find that over 5 years, the #StarLink project would emit between ~0.5 and 1 tonne CO2eq per subscriber, and up to ~3 t CO2eq / subscriber for #Amazon's #Kuiper project. Those values are 31-91 times HIGHER than eq. terrestrial #mobile #broadband.

"Two experts have warned that Taiwan must fortify its satellite communication infrastructure rather than rely on the tech mogul's Starlink."
A Harvard scholar warns that "Musk's pro-China stance and extensive business interests in China could potentially lead to him complying to Chinese demands to shutter Starlink in the event of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait."

#Starlink #satellite 📡 manufacturing was initially at a cost of about $3,000 💰 for each antenna unit. By early 📆 2021, #SpaceX had decreased 📉 that number to about $1,300 per unit. This is still more than double what a terminal costs for a consumer, which is $599 💵.

"NASA often brags about how innovation for space travel and exploration has provided the public with all sorts of downstream benefits, but they don’t typically mean that literally.
Now however, NASA is teaming up with ranchers in Idaho to monitor beaver rewilding projects on small rivers, streams, and other watersheds by adding remote sensing data to a suite of tools used to monitor beaver activities, track dam location and water dispersion, and determine ideal beaver reintroduction sites.
The project started when scientists Jodi Brandt and Nick Kolarik heard about “beaver fever.” Ranchers were beginning to actively restore beaver populations onto their land in states like Idaho and Utah."

Hopefully will provide the family/authorities with enough to run a more thorough search in the area for remains.

“🗺 Did you know that in 2017, only 6% of the world’s seafloor had been mapped to modern standards? Considering the ocean spans some 70% of the Earth’s surface, that’s a significant gap!
But over the past five years since Seabed 2030 launched, we’ve been able to map almost 25% of the ocean floor.
By discovering more about the seabed, we gain a greater understanding of our environment and can ensure its protection. After all, we can’t protect what we don’t know…”

Ha, I think I just ran across the one thing I *do* know that is out there, the #Xiaohe #Cemetery. Here's earlier imaging, I think it's the same thing. I need to check the coordinates. That's funny.
