Interconnected nano-satellites rely on VC MIPI Cameras and Raspberry Pi.
The challenge: Observing extreme environmental events
Disasters such as forest fires, flooding, storms and volcanic eruptions threaten people and the environment and cause significant economic damage. As an example, the losses of just airlines caused by the eruption and ash cloud of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in 2010 are estimated at more than 1.3 billion euros. In order to take precautionary measures in time, the spread of these events must be recognized at an early stage. Comprehensive data and real-time information are required for such predictions.
