Rapid Expansion of Rare Earth Mining in Conflict Zones According to the SHRF's analysis of satellite photos and on-the-ground videos, the mines are concentrated in Mong Yong and eastern Shan State, within Myanmar's Special Region 4. This area falls under the influence of the National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA), also known as the Mong La Army. A comparison of satellite images from early 2021 shows only three mines in the region, all of which were gradually shutting down.

Orthorectification transforms raw satellite or aerial images into geometrically accurate data, correcting distortions from terrain, camera tilt, and sensor geometry. This process creates orthophotos with uniform scale and precise geolocation, essential for reliable mapping, GIS applications, and analysis. From urban planning to disaster response, orthorectified imagery supports diverse sectors by ensuring accurate, consistent visuals for informed decision-making.

What's the real cost of a satellite image for your property? Uncover the secrets of satellite pricing and stop paying for huge areas you don't need. This article breaks down the "Minimum Order Quantity" (MOQ) trap and reveals how modern services unlock precise, micro-scale VHR data. Read it before you overpay

Earth observation from space is undergoing a revolution. Thanks to platforms like Planet and data from Sentinel-2 satellites, forest monitoring has become faster and more accurate than ever. This article explores how remote sensing has become a key tool in the fight against deforestation, from verifying supply chains under EUDR to uncovering the hidden scale of forest loss.

Once the domain of spies and scientists, satellite imagery is now a tool for everyone. Discover why this 'eye in the sky' is becoming essential for homeowners, investors, and anyone needing an objective view of their property.

Satellites are transforming water quality monitoring—offering fast, scalable insights into rivers, lakes, and coasts. This article explores real-world examples from the UK, Italy, Australia, and Poland using EO platforms like Sentinel-2 and PlanetScope to track pollution, turbidity, and ecosystem change.

The Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission, launched on 1 July 2025, introduces Europe’s first geostationary satellite for air quality monitoring. Orbiting at 36,000 km, Sentinel-4 delivers hourly high-resolution data on atmospheric pollutants, enhancing CAMS forecasts and supporting Europe’s environmental goals.
