Earth exploration
Satellite data are important in everyday life. They show us our way across the city and tell us about the weather tomorrow. In addition, they show us a completely new image of the planet we are living on. This presentation is about this new image. How do satellites obtain their data? Which methods are applied, how do they circle the Earth? And how can their data be applied?
