Satellites – Sentinels of the Earth
From their vantage point high above the earth, satellites offer an impressive view of our planet: They show how the climate is changing, how interconnected life on Earth is, and how delicate the balance of its ecosystems is.
Satellite remote sensing is an important tool and a remarkable technology that allows us to understand the complexity of our planet and its diverse ecosystems. It can also help monitor the effects of climate change and develop strategies to enable a sustainable and secure future for all of Earth’s inhabitants.
“Many Worlds – One Earth” shows us that we are all interconnected and dependent on the health of our home’s ecosystems. In this regard, satellite remote sensing is a significant tool for maintaining this delicate balance.
Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of cameras high above the earth and learn more about their functionality, capabilities, and limitations.
