AARNet is supporting TeraNet by providing expertise in networking services and research data movement.
Satellite-derived humidity indices could help smallholder farmers in Panama reduce climate-related losses. The concept—Cosechas 4.0—was one of eight projects selected for support at InnovaInvest: Copernicus Edition, an event connecting researchers and entrepreneurs with investors to address environmental challenges in Latin America.
A radar developed by Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology and partners has made the world’s first measurement of vertical cloud motion from space.
Simulations of sand dune movements is just one of many examples of how space technology can help the region to protect its environment.
Weather satellites provide raw data for weather and climate models. EUMETSAT collects this raw data and distributes the processed data to weather institutes in its member countries, such as the Dutch KNMI. The institutes themselves contribute to the processing of the data. How does this work, how are the data distributed, and what is SURF’s role?
The Square Kilometre Array, known as the SKA, will become the world’s biggest radio telescope, surveying the sky ten thousand times faster than ever before.
Ever wondered what the planets sound like? The Mars Soundscapes project uses sonification to transform data from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, and images from rovers, Curiosity and Opportunity.
Being able to forecast the weather in space is becoming ever more important. So-called sub-storms caused by fluctuations in the Sun’s activity pose a threat to satellites and could be fatal to astronauts and space tourists.
Highly networked planetariums are using “domecasting” — live broadcasting a planetarium show to audiences at other planetariums — to share the latest cosmic discoveries.
In the WHOLE SUN project, world leading European solar and stellar physicists join expertise and techniques to create for the first time a global integrated view of our star and extend it to its twins.
How is this even possible? A cuckoo carrying a tiny transmitter signalling to a satellite and allowing researchers to track its 16,000-kilometre, ten-month-long loop migration from Scandinavia to Central Africa and back.
More than 80 cosmonauts and astronauts from 20 countries met with youngsters and members of the public in Minsk, Belarus, during the XXXI Planetary Congress of the Association of Space Explorers.
