NUVIEW's satellite constellation will use LiDAR to create its 3D maps, which could prove beneficial to farmers and urban planners.
by detecting the time it takes for reflected light to return to the receiver.sending down a steady stream of
laser pulses that make their way through trees and other types of vegetation. So far, most other attempts to employ LiDAR whenNASA’s ICESat-2, which launched in 2018 to measure ice-sheet elevation in the Arctic, is one of a small number of satellites that use LiDAR from orbit. As a result, only about five percent of Earth’s landmass has been mapped with LiDAR, according to NUVIEW. But thanks to recent technological innovationsable to design a constellation of 20 LiDAR satellites. ModernAdvertisement
NUVIEW claims that its LiDAR constellation “will collect data more than 100 times faster than current commercial aerial solutions.” The company predicts there will be a large market for its data, which can be used by farmers to optimize crop yields and water usage, as well as urban planners to create more efficient and sustainable environments for cities, according to NUVIEW.
