NASA press release on the successful NISAR launch. The satellite is in the planned orbit and in contact with the ground controllers at ISRO. Full deployment of all the satellite systems including the large reflector will take about 20 days, step by step. #NASA #ISRO #SAR #satellite […]

Calimero, un pollito negro con grandes ojos azules y un trozo de cáscara de huevo en la cabeza, hace un gesto como diciendo "pues ni idea".

Pues porque se acaba de reestrenar en cines 'Porco Rosso' y me apetece, voy a recordar una historia que escribí en su día en la Pajarería. Si fuera un profesional de esto, la haría a una hora en la que hubiera público, pero como soy un romántico y un ignorante […]

«Alan Turing Institute scraps diversity drive under pressure from ministers»

Funny change in tune for an institute that was named after a person that was basically killed by the UK government for being gay. 🤷

Fediverso!!! La semana que viene me han plantado una telecon medio del día. El problema es que vamos a estar yendo de #madrid a #coruña (neno) en coche. Puede sugerir alguien alguna fonda, taberna o posada con WiFi para tener la telecon mientras me meto un cochifrito entre pecho y espalda? […]

Meme tres paneles, imitando una escena de Breaking Bad, con la cara de Feijóo cutremente sobreimpuesta a la de walter white "Estoy dispuesto a pactar con Puigdemont para echar a Sánchez." "¿Y porqué hay que echar a Sánchez?" "¡Porque es un traidor que pactó con Puigdemont!"

Si estáis pensando pillar una baliza V16 de las que obliga la DGT a llevar a partir de 2026, existe una de fabricación nacional, hecha con materiales reciclados, y que además por cada compra, donan 10€ a la Asociación Española de Investigación sobre el Cáncer (ASEICA).

Todo eso por el mismo […]

If you're ever taking trains in Europe, please checkout Chuuchuu:

It's a great site that uses historical train delay data to better estimate good train rates and realistic transfer windows between trains and such.

It seems like a must have to me but doesn't seem to be […]

ALOS-2 L Band SAR now available through Alaska Satellite Facility
“Previously, JAXA data weren’t freely available to outside scientists, so this agreement really, really opens things up,” said Dr. Gerald Bawden, the program scientist for ASF DAAC and the NISAR mission. “By having ASF distribute […]

Forest satellite’s big antenna opens up Just a week after its launch, ESA’s Biomass mission has reached another critical milestone on its path to delivering unprecedented insights into the world’s forests and their vital role in Earth’s carbon cycle – the satellite’s 12-metre-diameter antenna is now fully deployed.

So it seems from the lack of responses to my previous post https://fediscience.org/@jgomezdans/114427792187001051 that no one is using the #Copernicus #DataSpace via #STAC. I guess most academic #geo peeps use #GoogleEarthEngine or just download the data files directly? Is STAC only really used […]

#BIOMASS is up!!!! (I said this before in a reply, but feeling quite excited 'bout it!)
#BIOMASS
is a feat of both science and engineering. It's taken a massive technical capability (deploy a big, fuck-off antenna in orbit), followed by lobbying to allow P band to be used for science, and tons […]

Trying to bid for a #research #project fixed maximum cost, partners over Europe, and highly ambitious. I might get some 8months 20 days of postdoc time, vs the 2+ years partners elsewhere will be getting. The 100% overheads system in the UK is bonkers.

Let me recap the events:

1. Israel murdered, in cold blood, 15 Palestinian medics and aid workers (including short range shots to the head).
2. Israel buries them in a mass grave, alongside their vehicles.
3. Israel says the medics were shot because they were “advancing suspiciously” without […]

Data gathered in 2017 by the European Sentinel-1 SAR satellite program shows changes to croplands in the region southeast of Florida’s Lake Okeechobee. Colors in the fields indicate various crops in different parts of their growth and harvest cycles. NISAR will gather similar data in L- and S-band radar frequencies.
