Interactive simulation tool for earth observation satellites
Under the Space Data Lab 3 initiative, we are working on a new demonstration tool, developed using the PASEOS Python package, designed to make the science of Earth observations more comprehensible and engaging for a broad audience.

Understanding earth observations
Earth observations involve the systematic collection of data about the Earth's systems—land, oceans, and atmosphere—using satellite-based remote sensing technologies. These observations are critical for understanding climate processes, tracking environmental changes, and informing decision-making in fields such as agriculture, disaster management, and urban planning.
Our tool will illustrate these concepts by simulating the operation of Earth observation satellites, enabling users to gain insights into how orbital dynamics and data acquisition strategies influence our understanding of the planet.
