To see Earth from the satellite in real time became possible thanks to modern computer technologies. There are websites on which the photos of Earth accepted from satellites in various formats are displayed.
It is required to you
- - Internet access.
Instruction
1. Visit the website meteosputnik.ru. This project publishes pictures from low-orbit and geostationary meteorological satellites of Earth. Also on it reception of the photos received in real time is carried out. Pictures are published after the end of reception of data. On this resource you have an opportunity to look at pictures of Earth in the APT or HRPT formats. They differ in the frequency range of transfer and permission of the received pictures.
2. To look at photos of Earth from the satellite in the HRPT format, follow the corresponding link located in the central part of the homepage of the website. Before you the page with pictures will open. Each of them will have date of reception, the exact time of shooting (Moscow time) and the name of the photographed place.
3. Also you can look at pictures of Earth of the APT format. For this purpose follow other link which is near above-stated. In addition, on a resource an opportunity to look at photos from the METEOSAT 7 satellite is given.
4. In the section "Interesting Photos" you can study photos of various events happening on Earth in any given time (photo of solar wind, a strong magnetic storm, a volcanic eruption, etc.).
5. Practical benefits of similar projects are very big. The photos transferred from the satellite in real time help to carry out expeditious sounding of the earth, remote monitoring of the atmosphere, allow to predict weather and to trace various weather phenomena.
6. The polar and orbital NOAA satellites are at the height about 800 km above the ground. The trajectory of orbits of aircraft passes through both poles. At the same time each round is a little displaced rather previous, it occurs after the shift of the lit part of the Earth's surface. As a result satellites are over the lit surface more. Therefore during the day there is an opportunity to accept up to ten pictures from the satellite, at night – to two-three photos.
