The use of geospatial data in businesses

What is geospatial technology?Geospatial technology encompasses both the software used and the data input - to analyse, collect, display and manipulate geographical information.Geographic Information Systems (GIS) use this data such as satellite photography, general-purpose imagery and historical data, to produce a variety of valuable insights for different project goals. The most common use of this data is in GPS.

The future of satellite technology

Satellites, satellites, and more satellites. There is no denying humans have launched plenty over the 64 years since the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1 was launched into orbit in 1957. After only three weeks, its mission came to an end when the batteries on board ran out. A lot has changed since then from technology to materials, and size.

Understanding the difference between SAR and InSAR

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) are two powerful remote sensing technologies used for studying the Earth's surface. While both of these technologies utilise radar signals to generate images, they differ in their approach and the type of data they provide.

Discover how InSAR can improve Surface Movement Monitoring of critical infrastructure assets

InSAR technology operates by detecting and measuring changes in the Earth's surface velocity over time, with a remarkable level of precision ranging from millimetres to as high as 1-2mm, despite the satellite sensors being positioned more than 500km above the Earth's surface. Pertinent satellites pass over the targeted areas every 11 days, and it typically takes approximately 7-10 days to process the collected data and generate a comprehensive report.
