Space: Data from Satellites

Data from satellites can show tourists how to find their way round new cities on holiday, or on a bigger scale it can also be used to track major environmental changes, population shifts, or keep track of atmospheric pollution. Some people are uncomfortable with how closely satellites can observe what’s happening on Earth, but others have had their lives saved by information gleaned from space. It’s a thorny issue, and GSC’s Learning Lab are here to help you get to the heart of it.
