Demand outstrips radar satellite supply
PARIS – Synthetic aperture radar constellations are expanding in response to growing public and private demand. In August, Finland-based Iceye launched four radar satellites. Japan’s Synspective sent aloft its fifth SAR satellite. And U.S.-based Capella Space added two satellites to its constellation. National security and defense organizations remain the dominant customers for SAR imagery and…

Sea Level Rise Uncertainty? Scientists Uncover Missing Piece in Current Predictions
Meltwater streaming across the top of the Greenland ice sheet. A study led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin examines the flow and freezing of meltwater within old snow on the ice sheet, which can help improve estimate of sea level rise.

New database covers distribution and evolutionary history of megadiverse flowering plant family on isolated islands
Pleurophyllum speciosum is a herbaceous wildflower with bright purple flowers. Credit: Philip Garnock-Jones/Universität Göttingen Asteraceae, a family of flowering plants, are the most diverse group of flowering plants in the world. This plant family comprises about 34,000 species. An international research team with the participation of the University of Göttingen has now compiled and analyzed…

Algorithm used on Mars rover helps scientists on Earth see data in a new way
Credit: NASA A new algorithm tested on NASA’s Perseverance Rover on Mars may lead to better forecasting of hurricanes, wildfires, and other extreme weather events that impact millions globally. Georgia Tech Ph.D. student Austin P. Wright is first author of a paper that introduces Nested Fusion. The new algorithm improves scientists’ ability to search for…
