It also doesn't help that those tanks are employed in a completely inane way by the Russian side.

Obviously, it is such a simple solution no one but HN members has found about it.

Is this a joke?

well, no, the light source would still come from the north-west.

light-source-up (i.e. shadows-down) is usually the most natural way for humans to interpret shading and lighting. this might have played a role here.

This parameter is displayed on some aircraft, notably French (Mirage 2000 & Rafale) which display the longitudinal acceleration (labelled Jx) in the headup display. Part of the takeoff procedure for the pilot is to confirm the Jx is nom

Agree, you can even see on their input/predicted/target examples that the created/invented data is off enough from ground truth to be in some cases unsuitable for photo interpretation.

I use middle mouse button (MMB) all the time! To open links in new tabs, close tabs and windows (i.e. MMB-click an app shown in the Alt-Tab menu), or hold to scroll.

Are you sure you are not recollecting the altitudes or the cause of the dive incorrectly? Depressurisation at ~10 000 feet does not really grant an emergency dive; in fact emergency dives for depressurisation usually end somewhere slightl

GGplot is significantly more flexible. Leaflet is good for quick results that do not need to strictly adhere to cartography standards. Furthermore, it handles custom projections pretty poorly.

Google Earth/Maps imagery is mostly aerial, so that makes sense.

and that's why you have a chart of every place you fly to, from, or through, sitting on your knee or not very far from it.

if only. archive satellite imagery pricing schemes are absurd.

SAR typically are in sun-synchronous orbits too, but mostly for power management reasons. difference is, of course, that they do not need to have their ascending node in daylight. the only SAR constellations I know aren't in SSO are Is

in maritime environments, I would argue you are better off tracking vessels with SAR + passive radiofrequency.

yes, it sure would be an accelerator.

he's at least very communicative and pedagogical, and has a refreshing view of EO. reading him, Aravind, and Payload (thanks for it) is a good way to set you up on what's going on in the space-based EO industry.

technically, downlink-while-imaging is not necessarily reliant on sat-to-sat networks, or did I miss something?

in Earth observation, defence money is ultimately the one funding your ventures.

I urge anyone interested in the topic to read T.S. Kelso's (maintainer of Celestrak) pieces on "Computers & Satellites" [1] and generally browse Celestrak - a true goldmine. J.C. McDowell [2] is also undertaking similarly

Thanks for the writeup! Agree on SAR being vastly different to interpret, and I can imagine the priciness. I also understand that the capacity/demand is another complicating factor now over Ukraine. As you explained SAR phenomenology i

A variant of the barium meal test, common in espionnage.

It's called a barium meal test, or canary trap.

massive construction of NPPs, with the last big share of works taking place in the 90s. the large majority of them are still in use today. average NPP age in France is ~30 years. this is what allows France to produce electricity at ~50-10
