Ngo-Agasti 2020, inkampani ebizwa ngeCapella Space yethula isathelayithi ekwazi ukuthatha izithombe ezicacile ze-radar zanoma yikuphi emhlabeni, ezinokuxazululwa okumangazayo - ngisho nasezindongeni zezakhiwo ezithile. Futhi ngokungafani nohlu oluningi lokuqapha kanye neziphuphutheki zokubuka ezizungeza uMhlaba, isathelayithi yayo iCapella 2 manje ingakwazi ukushutha isithombe esicacile ebusuku noma emini, imvula noma ukukhanya.
ICapella Space isanda kukhipha izithombe zesethelayithi ezinesixazululo samasentimitha angama-50 ngamasentimitha angama-50, nokuyisiqalo seSan Francisco esithi yisinqumo esiphakeme kunazo zonke esitholakala ku-opharetha we-Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite opharetha.
Bacacisa bathi, “Kuvela ukuthi uhhafu womhlaba usebusuku, kanti uhhafu womhlaba, ngokwesilinganiso, unamafu. Uma uhlanganisa lokho okubili ndawonye, cishe amaphesenti angama-75 oMhlaba, nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, kuzoba namafu, isikhathi sasebusuku, noma kuzoba zombili. Ayibonakali kuwe, futhi leyo ngxenye iyahamba. ”
Ngakho-ke, uCapella wethule ipulatifomu evumela amakhasimende kahulumeni noma azimele ukuthi acele izithombe zanoma yini emhlabeni - ikhono elizothola amandla kuphela ngokuthunyelwa kwamanye amasathelayithi ayisithupha ngonyaka ozayo. Ingabe lokho kuyasabeka ekubukeni kobumfihlo? Impela. Kepha ngokusho kwenkampani, kuzosiza ukuvala izimbobo eziningi ngezindlela ososayensi nezinhlaka zikahulumeni abakwaziyo ngazo ukuqapha iplanethi njengamanje.
I-SAR, ubuchwepheshe bezithombe obusetshenziswa uCapella ohlelweni lwayo, busebenza ngendlela efanayo nokuthi amahlengethwa namalulwane ahamba kanjani esebenzisa i-echolocation. Isathelayithi yehlisa isignali yomsakazo enamandla engu-9.65 GHz ibheke kulokho okubhekiswe kukho - kulokhu kuvama, amafu asobala kakhulu - bese eqoqa futhi ahumushe isignali njengoba ibuyela emuva ku-orbit. Futhi ngoba i-satellite ithumela phansi isignali yayo kunokuba ifake ukukhanya, kwesinye isikhathi lezo zimpawu zingangena ngisho nodonga lwesakhiwo, zibheke ngaphakathi njengombono we-X-ray kaSuperman.
ICapella ayisungulanga i-SAR, kepha iyinkampani yokuqala yase-US ukunikeza ubuchwepheshe, futhi eyokuqala emhlabeni wonke ukunikela ngeplatifomu efinyeleleka kalula yamakhasimende angahle ayisebenzise.
Njengamanje, isimanga esihle kakhulu eCapella yisinqumo lapho iziphuphutheki zazo zingaqoqa khona izithombe. Iphikseli ngayinye kwesinye sezithombe zesethelayithi imele amasentimitha angama-50 ngamasentimitha angama-50, kanti amanye ama-satellite e-SAR emakethe angehla aze afike kumamitha amahlanu. Uma kukhulunywa ngokuqonda empeleni ukuthi ubheke ini kusuka esikhaleni, lokho kwenza umehluko omkhulu.
Ama-Cityscapes athakazelisa ikakhulukazi. Amabhilidi aphuma eMhlabeni njengamakhowe angumoya, angular - futhi, uma ubheka ngokucophelela, uyaqaphela ukuthi ungabona ngqo ngamanye awo. Ngeke ukwazi esithombeni esingezansi ngoba sicindezelwe kakhulu, kepha ngokusho kwenkampani, isithombe sokuqala sasinemininingwane eminingi ukuthi ungabheka amakamelo ngamanye. Kuyadabukisa!
