The Revolution in Earth Monitoring: How Small Satellites and AI Are Changing Our View of the Planet
Redefining Space and Earth Observation
Historically, space exploration and Earth monitoring relied on massive, expensive satellites built for long-term missions. These colossal assets often came with rigid specifications — built to last for decades, with limited capacity for upgrades or iteration. However, a new paradigm is emerging, driven by miniaturization of electronics, advancements in artificial intelligence, and a fresh approach to satellite design: the rise of small, affordable, and rapidly-upgradable satellites.
