SBG Systems advances GNSS/INS with 3rd-generation Ellipse
By Lurker,
SBG Systems has announced the third generation of its Ellipse series of miniature inertial sensors. The renewed product line benefits from a 64-bit architecture, allowing high precision signal processing.
All of the INS/GNSS devices now embed a dual-frequency, quad constellations GNSS receiver for centimetric position and higher orientation accuracy.
SBG Systems manufactures miniature high-accuracy inertial navigation systems with inertial measurement unit (IMU) design, calibration and
Facebook Acquire Mapillary
By Lurker,
The big news in the geospatial world at the moment is Facebook’s acquisition of Mapillary. For those unfamiliar, Mapillary is a darling of the mapping world and one of the highest-profile geospatial startups of the last decade—launched in 2013, their mission was to create a global street-level imagery dataset to rival Google Street View.
Mapillary was the prototypical “venture-scale” business — preposterously ambitious, technically impressive, inarguably valuable for the world, and plausibl
GPS III SV-08 ‘born’ with core mate complete
By Lurker,
The United States Space Force’s GPS III program reached another milestone with the successful core mate of GPS III Space Vehicle 08 at Lockheed Martin’s GPS III Processing Facility in Waterton, Colorado, April 15.
With core mate complete, the space vehicle was named in honor of NASA trailblazer and “hidden figure” Katherine Johnson.
The two-day core mate consisted of using a 10-ton crane to lift and complete a 90-degree rotation of the satellite’s system module, and then slowly lowerin
Using Satellite Imagery to Track Volcanic Ash Clouds
By Lurker,
Researchers have developed an algorithm that can distinguish between volcanic and non–volcanic clouds using high-resolution satellite imagery. Called the Cloud Growth Anomaly (CGA) technique, the algorithm uses geostationary satellite data to detect fast growing vertical clouds caused by volcanic output. Volcanic ash produced by eruptions are a major threat to airplanes. In 2011, for example, Grímsvötn erupted, closing Iceland’s air space. Volcanic ash can cause significant damage to airplan
Monitoring Volcanoes Using Drone
By Lurker,
Volcanoes present potential hazards not only to human life around these features but also to scientists studying them. With the increase usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, scientists now have a powerful tool to better monitor active volcanoes without getting into a dangerous situation. While being safer to use than traditional monitoring, UAVs can also help deliver vital data to better learn about volcanoes that can help better predict eruptions and how they may disrupt travel
