SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY
Why it matters
Very High Throughput Communication Satellite (VHTS) Very High Throughput Satellite (VHTS) systems can be observed, such as SES mPOWER, launched in 2022, and Telesat Lightspeed, estimated to be deployed in 2025.
• Offers an augmented capability for transmitting data at the scale of terabits-per-second (Tbps) and enhance the efficient exploitation of the available bandwidth, while simultaneously reducing interference between neighbouring beams. • The field of user experience has witnessed notable progressions, such as the integration of video streaming, telemedicine, and cloud-based applications.
Why it matters
Advanced Fusion of Panchromatic Imagery with Multispectral/Hyperspectral in Earth Observation Satellite
• Combining panchromatic imagery with other types of imagery, like multispectral and hyperspectral, will increase spectral resolution and identification and detection of objects, enabling overall better image quality. This amalgamation of sensors helps paint a complete picture for constant evaluation of the area of interest.
Why it matters
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites LEO communication satellite has a high bandwidth speed of up to 100 Mbps with low latency (under 30 milliseconds).
• LEO satellites for broadband services offer lower latency. As the satellites are closer to the Earth, it reduces the delay in data transmission, which is crucial for applications such as video conferencing, online gaming, and cloud computing. LEO satellites also have higher bandwidth, or the amount of data that can be transmitted per unit of time, than GEO satellites, which enables faster download and upload speeds.
Why it matters
SmallSats and CubeSats Miniaturising satellites reduce the associated costs covering payload and manufacturing costs, launching cost, and large numbers of constellations
• Cheaper designs and advancements in industrial technologies enable their mass production. Moreover, small satellites are well- suited for use in proprietary wireless communications networks and for scientific observation, data gathering, and monitoring the earth using the GPS.
