The logo for the STEA Project Group symbolizes the technological development that benefits Earth. The circle symbolizes the Earth, with the three streaks showing the coverage of satellite services throughout the orbit. The symmetrical geometry that is showin the middle is analogous to the modern advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, while at the same time [...]
Space Technology for Earth’s Atmosphere (STEAm) Overview The Earth’s atmosphere consists of all the gases which surround the solid Earth, which provide the ability for life to exist, and protect us from space weather. Space technology is used to track changes in the atmosphere, particularly to provide [...]
Space Technology for Earth’s Water (STEW) Overview Water is found in it’s liquid (seas, oceans, lakes, rivers, underground), gas (atmosphere), and solid (ice, snow) states on our planet. Monitoring of these elements provides important insights into the way our planet works, and allows for management of specific, [...]
Space Technology for Land Use (STLU) Overview Land use refers to the way in which land is managed and adapted to human needs. This can be broadly categorized into the built environment, semi-natural terrains such as fields and pastures used for agriculture and/or livestock, and managed woods. [...]
Remote Sensing (RS) Lead: Victor Hertel ([email protected]) Overview Earth Observation (EO) through Remote Sensing (RS) satellites is becoming increasingly vital to Earth development activities due to the abundance of data, large coverage area and short temporal resolution provided, and its cost-effectiveness. RS satellites provide images at various wavelengths [...]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lead: Ciro Farinelli ([email protected]) Overview Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool used to process high quantities of data. Within the scope of STEA, the data to be analyzed are mainly gathered from Earth Observation (EO) programs. STEA has a strong internal expertise, composed of [...]
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Lead: Swetha Kotichintala ([email protected]) Overview A satellite navigation system is a system that uses satellites to provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers, using the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, IRNSS, QZSS, BeiDou system, etc., are used in many applications. [...]
