Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, abbreviated InSAR (or deprecated IfSAR), is a radar technique used in geodesy and remote sensing.This geodetic method uses two or more synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to generate maps of surface deformation or digital elevation, using differences in the phase of the waves returning to the satellite [1] [2] [3] or aircraft.
Signage systems are visually oriented information systems, consisting of signs, maps, arrows, color-codings systems, pictograms and different typographic elements. Signage systems differ from other methods of information presentation because they are typically used to guide people's passage through the physical world; road signs on a highway, station identification signs in a subway and ...
Gauge MAT – Gauge-based mean areal temperature for stream basin areas; Latest IMS SCA – Fraction of stream basin area snow cover (from U.S. NOAA-NESDIS) SWE – Model-based snow water equivalent for stream basin areas (reflects the state of the snowpack) Melt – Snow melt (cumulative melt over the period of 24–96 hours for each stream ...
[7]: 481 The design of ground networks is driven by requirements on reliability, bandwidth, and security. Delay-tolerant networking protocols may be used. Reliability is a particularly important consideration for critical systems , with uptime and mean time to recovery being of paramount concern.
Illustration of the WGS satellites in its two configurations, known as Block I (left) and Block II (right) The Wideband Global SATCOM system (WGS) is a high capacity United States Space Force satellite communications system planned for use in partnership by the United States Department of Defense (DoD), Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) and the Australian Department of Defence.

For example, at the Low Earth orbital velocity of ~7.8 km/s, two perpendicularly colliding spacecraft would meet at ~12.2 km/s. Almost no known structurally solid materials can withstand such an energetic impact. Most of the satellite would be instantly vaporized by the collision and broken up into myriad pieces ejected at force in all directions.
The Lockheed Martin A2100 geosynchronous spacecraft series is designed for a variety of telecommunications needs including K a band broadband and broadcast services, fixed satellite services in C-band and K u band payload configurations, high-power direct broadcast services using the K u band frequency spectrum, and mobile satellite services using UHF, L-band and S-band payloads.
Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) was a NASA Earth observation satellite created to develop and validate a number of instrument and spacecraft bus breakthrough technologies. It was intended to enable the development of future Earth imaging observatories that will have a significant increase in performance while also having reduced cost and mass.
