First rescue satellites: cosmic disaster signal

Satellites are watching our planet in time to detect life-threatening situations

If we want to ensure the safety of people during natural disasters, then we need to continue to invest in satellites that monitor their home planet. Orbiters not only provide accurate weather forecasts, but also help map maps of areas affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, forest fires and droughts. They also help to determine priorities in the choice of methods to save the population.

The photographs obtained are multifunctional, as they not only record changes on the surface, but also convey all the beauty of the home world (mountains, oceans, rivers, seas and continents). The importance of missions affects the distribution of the budget and participation in projects of private satellite companies. Only having time to fix the beginning of the formation of a storm from orbit, you can assess the danger of the threat, and warn the population in time. Mapping the route of destruction, you can report the most dangerous locations. Thus, it will be possible to avoid victims and panic. To get high-quality and timely images, we must have the necessary advanced equipment.

In favor of such missions plays and entry into the market of tiny satellites-cubes. They are much lighter, smaller and cheaper in production, but in terms of functionality they are not inferior to larger specimens.

Many companies understand that the demand for such satellites is growing, so concept development is already underway. Devices in low-Earth orbit will be able to record in time the occurrence of hurricanes, storms, storms and tsunamis, as well as predict their strength and route at any point on Earth. This is useful both for research purposes and for evacuation.
