Watch SSTL and DMCii on TV

In the news

SSTL & DMCii are scheduled to be featured on the Discovery Channel’s "How Do They Do It?" television programme. Tune in to either Discovery Channel or Discovery HD at 20:00 on Thursday 27th August (Updated).

If you are not one of the 1.2 billion who already watch the program, "How Do They Do It?" showcases a wide variety of technology and inventions from around the world from the cutting-edge to the well established, telling the story behind the technology and essentially explaining how things work.

The SSTL/DMCii section is entitled “How do they make the satellites that provide pixel perfect pictures of the earth from deep space?”, which seems partucularly timely, considering the SSTL built UK-DMC2 and Deimos-1 satellites have just been launched and are supplying their first satellite images to DMCii as this blog is published.

For those readers outside the UK, the program will be followed by a US version on the Science Channel in early September. Space Blog will keep readers up to date nearer the time, with details where possible.

    Don't get me wrong, i'm all for space exploration, or more to the point, earth observation, however the latest satellites launched have joined the plethora of existing technology that is currently orbiting the earth. Apparently over 19,000 objects have been sent into space by humans and are constantly in the Earth's orbit. Only 800 of these objects are actually functioning and therefore serving a purpose, meaning the rest is quite literally rubbish. Surely this cant be good, we have enough litter on the earth as it is, we dont need to clutter our universe aswell!
