A South Korean Earth observation satellite successfully entered low-Earth orbit after launching on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from California. The satellite, designed for agriculture, forestry, and disaster response, made its first communication with a ground station in Norway.
A South Korean Earth observation satellite, the next-generation medium-sized satellite No. 4, was successfully launched by SpaceX aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from California. The satellite, designed for agriculture and forestry applications, separated successfully and will attempt communication with a Norwegian ground station.
South Korea's next-generation medium-sized satellite No. 4 was successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from California on Tuesday. The satellite, dedicated to agriculture and forestry, will support applications like crop monitoring and disaster response.
South Korea plans to launch its fourth medium-sized Earth observation satellite on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from California on Tuesday. The satellite will be used for applications including agriculture, disaster response, and public safety.
An Earth observation satellite, Yam-9, has autonomously identified targets using a vision-language model (VLM) in orbit, a first for AI in space. This demonstration by Loft Orbital and NASA JPL, powered by Google DeepMind's Gemma 3, could revolutionize space-based sensing by enabling on-orbit data triage and paving the way for larger AI infrastructure in space.
GalaxEye successfully launched Drishti, India's largest privately developed Earth observation satellite at 190kg, aboard SpaceX's Falcon-9. The satellite is the world's first to integrate Electro-Optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar sensors, enabling all-weather, day-and-night imaging. It features AI processing via Nvidia's Jetson Orin, delivers 1.5m resolution imagery, and can revisit locations every 7-10 days.
