Regardless of the identity of the satellite, this image is noteworthy for several reasons.
First of all, despite the many satellite flying in space, it is still rare to see a real picture – not just an example of an artist – which in fact seems to be in orbit. For example, Space X released photos of Star Link link satellite at launch configuration, where dozens of spacecraft have been stacked together to fit the Falcon 9 rocket pay load basket. But in its operational environment, there are less solutions to the satellite, which spreads like wings of solar birds.
This is changing as commercial companies have more and more imaging satellites in orbit. Several companies re -develop land observation camera and provide “non -ground imaging” services to see other items in the space. These ideas can show information that can be useful in military or corporate espionage.
Secondly, Google Earth Capture offers a solid reflection of satellite speed. In order to avoid falling back to the environment, an item in the orbit of a lower land should travel more than 17,000 miles per hour (more than 27,000 kilometers per hour).
Although the B -2 movement appeared a bit smelly in the picture of Google Earth a few years ago, satellite speed created a different sample. The satellite appears five times in different colors, which tells us something about how the picture is made. Airbus’s Plyadus satellite takes pictures in multiple versum bands: blue, green, red, panchayat and near infrared.
On the bottom left, the satellite’s dark outline is nearly infrared grip. Going forward, you can see the satellite in red, blue and green, followed by a snap shot with panchayatic, or fastest resolution with black and white, snapshot. Generally, Plyadus satellite records these images in addition to a separate second and combines colors to create accurate representation of what the human eye can see. But it does not work so well to move about 5 miles per second.
