Albedo Space is an American satellite imaging company founded in 2020. The company is developing a very low Earth orbit satellite which will be able to capture images with a 10 centimeter resolution.
Earth’s albedo as monitored by the CERES satellite system shows a darkening of Earth that has caused 1.7 W/m 2 warming since 2010. [23] That amount, only some of which is climate forcing, is equivalent to a 138 ppm increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide. [23] Greenhouses of El Ejido, Almería, Spain
In 2016 Skeyeon filed the first VLEO satellite patent describing commercial satellite operation in orbits from 100 to 350 km (62-218 mi), with plans to put satellites into VLEO orbit. [citation needed] Companies such as Albedo, EOI Space, Thales Alenia Space and others announced plans at later dates. [3]
Diameter and albedo [ edit ] According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer , Alconrad measures 5.7 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.18, [ 5 ] [ 6 ] while he Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for members of the Koronis family of 0. ...
Cloud albedo is a measure of the albedo or reflectivity of a cloud. Clouds regulate the amount of solar radiation absorbed by a planet and its solar surface irradiance . Generally, increased cloud cover correlates to a higher albedo and a lower absorption of solar energy .
The satellite is a smaller asteroid about 5–6 kilometers (3.1–3.7 miles) in diameter, orbiting nearly in the equatorial plane of Polymele at a distance of 204.4 ± 2.6 km (127.0 ± 1.6 mi). [ 15 ] [ 5 ] Assuming Polymele has a density of 0.7–1 g/cm 3 , the satellite should have an orbital period between 14.4 and 16.6 days. [ 5 ]
Diameter and albedo [ edit ] According to numerous observations, including the EXPLORENEOs survey, NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission and the Spitzer Space Telescope , the asteroid measures between 1.55 and 1.90 kilometers in diameter and its surface has a low albedo of 0.03 to 0.05.
An image of global sea surface temperatures acquired from the NOAA/ AVHRR satellite. The Advanced Very-High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instrument is a space-borne sensor that measures the reflectance of the Earth in five spectral bands that are relatively wide by today's standards.
