Liftoff!! Just watched the successful launch of the #kaust #cubesat!! The @SpaceX technology that allows these missions still feels like magic. Now just waiting for deployment (we're 8th in line). Congrats to the other 50 payloads being launched - some amazing missions on board!

It's been a (very) busy several weeks since our @KAUST_News CubeSat launched in April. Following commissioning and testing (and LOTS of learning), the @SimeraSense hyperspectral imager onboard the @SpireGlobal Lemur satellite is now providing some incredible imagery ->

A longer post would detail a steep learning curve: from commissioning and testing, to tasking and collecting, and ultimately processing. I will (try to) post more on this process over the coming weeks. In the meantime, enjoy these beautiful images from around #saudiarabia

I did some fun reporting last week in the Bay Area, checking out companies making meat and dairy products without animals. I ate some of the future of food. Here’s a thread with some of the cool stuff I got to try! 1

What are the disadvantages of #SAR relative to optical #remotesensing? Which applications will always favor optical over SAR? Interested to hear your thoughts... #EOchat #EarthEngine
