The pass predictions generates, among other things, the time window, minimum elevation and the apparent brightness of the object in the sky. Satellite Tracking provides detailed real-time and pass predictions for Earth orbiting satellites. See A Satellite Tonight shows you where to look with Google Street View.
Timelapse satellite video taken from space shows the rapid expansion of the California wildfires, offering a harrowing look at how quickly the blazes exploded over the last two days amid powerful ...
As four fires grew in Southern California, new satellite images show their scale and the amount of smoke pouring east.. The Line, Bridge, Airport and Roblar fires, all of which began in the past ...
An out-of-control satellite has fallen to Earth, nearly three decades after it launched. The European Space Agency (ESA) said the risks associated with the two-tonne satellite were “very low ...
Visible pass of the International Space Station and Space Shuttle Atlantis over Tampa, Florida, on mission STS-132, May 18, 2010 (five-minute exposure). An orbital pass (or simply pass) is the period in which a spacecraft is above the local horizon, and thus available for line-of-sight communication with a given ground station, receiver, or relay satellite, or for visual sighting.
Prior to 2008, NASA's Orbital Information Group had been providing free information about over 10,000 objects in Earth orbit. US security authorities identified identified this as a security threat, and a pilot program was launched in 2008 to replace the NASA OIG website with a US Air Force site (Space-Track.org) with somewhat more controlled ...
New satellite photos from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show the telltale cloud swirl of Hurricane Hilary approaching Southern California.. This image of the storm was taken ...
DMSP satellites operated in a Sun-synchronous orbit; passing over the north and south poles, the satellite would see different strips of the Earth at the same local time each day. The DMSP satellites had periods of roughly 101.0 minutes, so they would orbit the Earth 14.3 times in 24 hours.
