Actuellement, #Vagabond, voilier polaire, est amarré au port du Faou. De 2004 à 2009, le voilier et son équipage hivernaient dans Inglefieldbukta, une baie de l'Est du #Spitzberg, au #Svalbard.
Hier, la première photo #satellite (la troisième de l'année depuis le retour de suffisamment de lumière) sans nuage de 2026 a été captée par #Sentinel de #Copernicus https://link.infini.fr/svalbard09032026 raccourci du lien à rallonge, permettant de naviguer dans les photos et le calendrier.

What I absolutely love about #hamradio is the ability to experiment. I've just had a QSO using good old #RTTY on state of the art #satellite QO-100. Thanks #sp9mrp for trying it 1st.
Over the past few years, the number of #satellite launches has skyrocketed.
There are now nearly 15 000 active #satellites in orbit around the Earth, most of them part of mega-constellations in which each satellite has a service life of only a few years.
New satellites must be quickly launched as replacements. To avoid leaving old, dead satellites in Earth’s already-crowded low orbits, most satellite operators deliberately de-orbit them into Earth’s upper atmosphere.
That approach is now being taken to a vastly larger scale and there are implications for Earth’s #climate and #atmosphere.
Rocket launches already contribute to climate change and #ozone depletion.
Scaling them up to deploy a million aircraft-sized satellites would push upper-atmosphere heating and ozone loss far beyond previous estimates, with the steady burn-up of dead satellites compounding the impacts.
This is just a fraction of what is to come if planned mega-constellations go ahead. Operators worldwide have already asked for a combined total of over one million satellites.
The very smallest particles, finer than a human hair, can stay suspended in the atmosphere for years, contributing to ozone depletion and climate change.
A million satellites could mean that a teragram of alumina accumulates in the upper atmosphere – enough, alongside launch emissions, to significantly alter atmospheric chemistry and heating in dramatic ways we do not yet understand.
There is no public mandate for a single company in one country to make changes on that scale to the planet’s atmosphere.

My son will be giving a talk this weekend about student-led #cubesat projects, as part of the Expert Speaker Series to the Astronomical League of the Philippines.
He is Program Manager of the CubeCats satellite club at the University of Cincinnati.
They will be launching their first #satellite this April to the #iss aboard CRS NG-24.
On Zoom and open to the public. Saturday February 21, 8:30pm EST

#Amazon still has to get its first-generation #Leo #satellite #broadband network into full operation, but it's already won the OK from regulators to move on to the second-generation satellites (and end up putting 7,700 satellites in low Earth orbit). https://www.geekwire.com/2026/fcc-amazon-leo-gen2-broadband-coverage-polar/ #FCC #Space

📢 We are hiring ! #fediHire
My group is looking for 2️⃣ #research scientists in the field of #satellite 🛰️ remote sensing and data processing, to work in #Norway
One position (Tromsø or Oslo) will mostly be about #climate #SeaIce remote sensing from passive microwave sensors:
https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/294200/researcher
The other position (Bergen or Oslo) is mostly about #Ocean remote sensing from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions:
https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/294199/researcher-scientific-programmer
Both are 2-year positions, in the context of several projects we have with the #EuropeanSpaceAgency.
Please help and boost 🙌 .

This week I gave a (5'ish min.) talk about democratising satellite embeddings in social research and policy. Here's the write up in case of interest!

Hoping to active CM93/CM94 both on satellite and (maybe) HF next week. IOTA NA-144. POTA US-00014. #hamradio #POTA #IOTA #satellite
Ah, I see N6DNM is on CM93/CM94 (at the spot on Santa Rosa Island near the airfield) right now. Satellite contacts...#hamradio #amsat #satellite
Really great reference from @developmentseed, covering the raster formats of the present and future. I'll be coming back to this *a lot*. https://guide.cloudnativegeo.org/ #mapping #satellite #raster
