Why Space Data Is The New Big Data
Space Data is about to get big. Thanks to the growing sophistication and falling cost of satellites, more businesses than ever are looking to the “final frontier” for insights which can be put to use here on Earth.
Data Space Uses
Space infrastructure has the space element, which includes the satellites orbiting Earth and the ground elements such as ground receiving stations and data facilities. We use this infrastructure to provide us with data from space that has a variety of uses in our daily lives. Most commonly understood is satellite television where we receive television channels directly to our homes and allow for on the scene reporting such as sports or emergencies.
