Earth vs LM Space Constellations

NASA's Earth Now is an application that visualizes recent global climate data from Earth Science satellites, including surface air temperature, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, and water vapor as well as gravity and sea level variations. Data sets are visually described using "false color" maps. Color-coded legends are provided to indicate relative strength or weakness of an environmental condition. The resulting 3D model of the Earth may be rotated by a single finger stroke, and may also be zoomed in or out by pinching 2 fingers. It was developed by the Earth Science Communications and Visualization Technology Applications and Development Teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with support from NASA Headquarters.

The satellite business is exciting with rapid innovation, increasing investment, new customers and new competitors. Satellites and their associated systems on the earth perform missions or services from low altitudes (e.g. imaging), medium altitudes (e.g. GPS navigation signals) and high altitudes (e.g. TV signals). There are many factors to consider in designing a satellite constellation. A large number of economic, technical, and social factors are considered and optimized to best achieve the objectives of that business. LM Space Constellations provides an introduction to a couple of key factors. Change these factors and observe their effects. Start learning the basics of satellite mission architecture.
