Where this platform is at work.
Field stories from the network, each with the systems in it and the sources behind it.
Rural villageA village at the end of the line
Where the fibre ends, a single mast, a satellite terminal and a handful of sensors decide whether a village is on the map of observation. Canada’s target is… Read the story →Remote northern communityObservation the community governs
In a remote northern community, an observing station is also a question of who owns the data, who decides how it is used and who benefits. Principles for… Read the story →ArcticInstruments at the edge of the cryosphere
The Arctic has warmed about three to four times faster than the global average, depending on the period and the dataset. The instruments that showed it are… Read the story →OceanThe ocean below the surface
Most of the ocean’s heat lies below what satellites can see. Profiling floats drifting at depth and surfacing to report have measured it routinely since the… Read the story →OrbitOrbits as infrastructure
Low orbits are fast and crowded, high orbits slow and spacious. Every choice of altitude is a trade between delay, footprint and how long the satellite… Read the story →Satellite backhaulWhen the backhaul is a satellite
For a remote site, the satellite is not a backup; it is the network. Since Release 17, the cellular standard includes satellites as part of the radio access… Read the story →03Documentation
