Satellite opens like umbrella for detailed look at changing Eartth surface

See Ferrari text
Picture MUST credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
A satellite packed with a giant radar antenna, folded like an umbrella has just unfurled in orbit for a first of its kind mission.
The satellite was launched to monitor Earth’s surfaces detecting movement of the planet’s crust down to centimetres.
The massive, drum-shaped structure is on a mission called NISAR, a joint effort between US space agency NASA and India space agency ISRO.
It launched on July 30 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India.
More than two weeks later, the satellite deployed its antenna reflector, which spans 12 meters—the largest ever used on a NASA mission.
NISAR is designed to produce a three-dimensional view of Earth in unprecedented detail.
It will enable researchers and data users to create 3D movies of changes happening on Earth’s surface.
It will track the motion of ice sheets and glaciers, the deformation of land due to earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides, and changes in forest and wetland ecosystems.
It also will aid decision-makers in fields as diverse as disaster response, infrastructure monitoring, and agriculture.

Package for spying on the spy satellites

Picture MUST credit: Dawn Aerospace
An unmanned plane designed to fly to the edge of space equipped with a payload for watching out for and identifying potential spy satellites has been successfully tested.
The payload, called Morning Sparrow was being carried by the pilot-less Aurora spaceplane.
The plane has been developed by multinational company Dawn Aerospace which is headquartered in New Zealand.
The Morning Sparrow is a suite that includes optical sensors and related hardware for near-real time object identification, classification, and tracking in orbit.
The set up is needed because the burgeoning private space rocket sector has created a new form of satellite.
Instead of a few large satellites launched in relatively high stable orbits, whole constellations of mini versions can be put into low Earth orbit at very short notice.
It makes it possible to quickly respond to emergency situations by deploying satellites for surveillance, communications and battlefield networks before their orbits decay and they plunge back to Earth.
But they could also be deployed spying without potential targets being aware.
The new system is designed to quickly help look for satellites and try to figure what they are doing.
The Morning Sparrow system made by US firm, Scout Space, is designed for such use and was tested on July 17.
It was incorporated into an Aurora spaceplane that took off from a conventional runway at Tawhaki National Aerospace Centre in New Zealand.
OPS: The Aurora space flying to the edge of space with the Morning Sparrow package aboard.

An unmanned plane designed to fly to the edge of space equipped with a payload for watching out for and identifying potential spy satellites has been successfully tested.
The payload, called Morning Sparrow was being carried by the pilot-less Aurora spaceplane.
The plane has been developed by multinational company Dawn Aerospace which is headquartered in New Zealand.
The Morning Sparrow is a suite that includes optical sensors and related hardware for near-real time object identification, classification, and tracking in orbit.
The set up is needed because the burgeoning private space rocket sector has created a new form of satellite.
Instead of a few large satellites launched in relatively high stable orbits, whole constellations of mini versions can be put into low Earth orbit at very short notice.
It makes it possible to quickly respond to emergency situations by deploying satellites for surveillance, communications and battlefield networks before their orbits decay and they plunge back to Earth.
But they could also be deployed spying without potential targets being aware.
The new system is designed to quickly help look for satellites and try to figure what they are doing.
The Morning Sparrow system made by US firm, Scout Space, is designed for such use and was tested on July 17.
It was incorporated into an Aurora spaceplane that took off from a conventional runway at Tawhaki National Aerospace Centre in New Zealand.
