Utilizing satellite images to describe crop soil field conditions is a remote sensing tool. The most effective decision method combines the system and GIS. Drought forecasting and crop production forecasting benefit from this.
The Joint Polar Satellite System, a group of satellites, monitors and predicts severe weather conditions on Earth to assist. Farmers are better able to respond to weather-related disasters if they have more information about the Earth’s conditions.
A constellation of artificial satellites that work together as a system is called a satellite constellation. A constellation, in contrast to a single satellite, can provide permanent global or near-global coverage, with at least one satellite visible at any given time anywhere on Earth.
Soil, snow cover, drought, and crop development are all closely monitored by remote sensing satellites. Farmers can, for instance, use satellite rainfall assessments to plan when and how much irrigation they will need for their crops.
Measuring involves integrating sophisticated algorithms with satellite data to yield and crop growth stage measurements. Monitoring: Through the use of images over time, scientists and farmers can observe changes in the patterns of rainfall and drought or see how land use has changed.
The Global agriculture-focused satellite constellation market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched EOS SAT-1, the initial satellite of EOS SAT, the first agri-focused satellite constellation launched by a remote sensing company, into low Earth orbit from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
By the year 2024, EOS Data Analytics (EOSDA), a provider of satellite imagery analytics, plans to launch seven optical EOS SAT satellites into LEO (Low Earth orbit).
The company intends to establish a complete vertical for the production of satellite data by launching its own imaging constellation, which will include direct imagery collection, processing, analysis, and delivery.
The monitoring of farmlands will be one of the primary goals of the new satellite constellation, making this project the first of its kind geared toward agriculture. EOS Data Analytics will make its satellite monitoring features more accessible and accurate with these new satellites.
Additionally, it will assist in addressing pressing global issues like climate change, degradation of land, threats to the environment, and more.
The ground sample distance (resolution) of the EOS SAT satellites will be 1.4 m panchromatic and 2.8 m multispectral, as well as 11 band channels and a swath width of up to 40 km. The particular set of band channels used will precisely reflect the requirements of agriculture.
Additionally, the constellation will permit a three-day global revisit. The lifespan of each satellite is five years. Crop health monitoring, crop classification, growth comparison, soil moisture estimation, and weather prediction are all features of the EOSDA farming platform.
