New 'crisis satellites' launched
Wednesday, 29 July 2009
BBC has reported that New 'crisis satellites' has been launched from Baikonur cosmodromet in Kazaksthan to monitor the disasters. The satellites were launched atop a converted Soviet-era missile ( Dnepr rocket ). The Dnepr is a converted Soviet-era SS-18 intercontinental ballistic missile. The UK-DMC2 and Deimos-1 spacecraft have joined four platforms already in the sky that together form the Disaster Monitoring Constellation.
The network obtains rapid pictures of areas struck by natural calamities - such as floods, earthquakes and fire.
The imagery is used by governments and aid agencies to co-ordinate relief.
