The space industry is undergoing its 4th revolution, and satellites are at its forefront. With 2,000 live satellites orbiting our world we are now gaining unprecedented information about the Earth around us. This talk will explore how new and future innovations in the satellite technologies will create meaningful change to our day to day lives. Using high resolution satellite imagery to help save lives with rapid disaster response, to gaining new efficiencies within agriculture and the mining sector.
