چکیده
For monitoring of the Earth thousands of satellites have been sent into space on missions to collect data related different spheres of the Earth investigations and studies. Today, the ability to forecast weather, climate, and natural hazards, environmental monitoring and ecological issues depend critically on these satellite-based observations. Based on this data it is possible to gather satellite images frequently enough to create the model of the changing planet, improving the understanding of Earth's dynamic processes and helping society to manage limited resources and environmental challenges. Earth observations from space open and makes requirement to address scientific and societal challenges of the future.

متن کاملOptical Data Downlinks from Earth Observation Platforms
The increasing resolution of earth observation sensors will require much higher data rates for the data downlink in future than is feasible with conventional RF-technology. This applies for earth observation satellites as well as for aeronautic observation platforms, such as aircraft or stratospheric high altitude platforms. The most promising solution for this data downlink bottleneck is the a...

Dozens of satellites are constantly collecting data about our planetary system the Earth in particular 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Satellite data is used for many purposes, for example for telecommunications, navigation systems and environmental monitoring. However, even with the most powerful computers processing all this data is time-consuming and expensive. Distributing these tasks over ...
