Who tells satellites where to take pictures? Increasingly, it’ll be robots, Maxar says

Imagine a world where robots are in charge of telling satellites what to take pictures of in space. That’s not a scene from a science fiction movie; it’s becoming a reality. Companies and the military are sending more and more satellites into orbit to take pictures of Earth. But with so many satellites up there, it’s getting tricky to decide which one should take a picture of what, and when.

Currently, most of the time, people make those decisions. However, as we launch even more satellites, we’re going to need a smarter way to manage them all. Here’s where the cool tech part kicks in. They’re developing systems that can automatically scan through low-quality images to decide where and when we need a better, high-quality photo. This is kind of like looking through blurry pictures on your phone and knowing you want a clearer one of the best moments.

In addition, experts are using simulations, which are like sophisticated computer games, to figure out the best way to organize the line-up of satellites waiting to take their turn to snap pictures of Earth. This way, we can make better use of our satellites, like making sure we’re getting the best pictures at the right time without any of them getting in each other’s way.

So, what does this mean for the future? It shows that we’re getting super smart with technology. Satellites will take better pictures that can help us in many ways, like tracking changes in the environment or keeping an eye on important places for national security. All this, thanks to the help of robots and simulations.

Now, let’s bring it back down to Earth. This might all sound pretty technical and out there in space, but it’s important for companies and organizations right here on our planet that need to make big decisions using satellite images. That’s where Diversified Outlook Group comes in. They can help your company or organization make sense of all this satellite jargon and figure out the best way to use this technology for your needs.
