By Lana Sansur C o mpTIA’s Space Enterprise Council (SEC) is honored to have been asked by the National Electronics Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, to contribute to a satellite exhibit titled “Satellites: Transforming Our Lives.” The exhibit focuses on how satellites affect our everyday lives and offers a glimpse into the future of the industry. Part of the exhibit includes the history of satellites and an examination of the key issues, challenges and applications related to satellite technology. In Orbit CompTIA’s Space Enterprise Council was called upon to help craft a digital exhibit on a national stage – all on the topic of how satellites boost our world from the sky.
The interactive exhibit the SEC contributed to is titled “What Can We Do with Satellites.” It focuses on the benefits of satellites in the areas of communications, weather and remote sensing, navigation and global positioning systems (GPS). Using a touch screen, visitors can choose one of six general topics such as farming, the environment, news, transportation or entertainment. The exhibit delves into each of these industries and explains per industry what we do with satellites and their capabilities. It provides a real-life case study of how satellites work within specified sectors of industry and the benefits satellites offer. The exhibit uses clear, insightful text and stunning imagery to show viewers how satellites work, what they can do, and the benefits of satellite technology.
