EYE IN THE SKY: Chinese AI-driven satellite takes ultra-high res images of US city from orbit at speeds ‘never before seen’

CHINA has developed a powerful AI satellite capable of taking hi-res images of cities in a matter of seconds.

Beijing-3, a small one-tonne commercial satellite, can take images clear enough to be able to identify a military vehicle on the street and tell what type of weapon it might be carrying, according to researchers.

The satellite was launched by China in June and performed an in-depth scan of the central San Francisco Bay area, covering 1,470 square miles, the journal Spacecraft Engineering reports.

Most satellites observing the Earth must be stable when taking image because altitude control mechanisms can produce vibrations that blur the images.

But in the Chinese experiment on June 16, the satellite was able to change the angle of its camera’s line of sight to the ground when passing over the US.

The movement meant it could capture a larger area than satellites have been previously able to.

The pictures were taken at an altitude of 310 miles and had a resolution of 50 centimetres per pixel with the test showing the satellite could take images while its body was twisting at up to 10 degrees per second, a speed not seen on a satellite before.

China started relatively late on agile satellite technology, but achieved a large number of breakthroughs in a short period of time,” said project lead scientist Yang Fang from the DFH Satellite Company writing in a paper published in the domestic peer-reviewed journal Spacecraft Engineering this month.

“The level of our technology has reached a world leading position.”

According to Yang, the Beijing-3 is the most nimble satellite ever seen and could be one of the most powerful Earth observation satellites ever built.

A satellite in the Earth’s lower orbit could normally observe a straight, narrow strip of area beneath it and would have to circle the Earth several times, or work with other satellites, to cover a region of interest.

Due to Beijing-3’s abilities it was able to carry out some tasks previously considered technically impossible.

It was able to take images of the 6,300km-long Yangtze River between the Tibetan plateau and the East China Sea, in just one fly-by, according to Yang and her colleagues.

MILITARY USES
The new technology could also have military uses as it can detect the presence of certain targets and relay the photos to control on the ground.

The Beijing-3’s response time is 2-3 times faster than the United States’ WorldView-4, currently the most advanced Earth observation satellite, according to Yang.

The Chinese satellite has a scanning band of 23km compared to the WorldView-4 which is 13km.

The WorldView-4 does have one advantage over its Chinese counterpart, the US satellite can take slightly more detailed images with a resolution of 30 centimetres per pixel.

While that is not sharp enough to read a car’s number plate it is sharp enough to reveal a military vehicle’s make and model which could be used to estimate its fire power.

However, when the WorldView-4 adjusted its position it could experience vibrations, reducing the quality of the images produced.

Yang claimed the new Beijing-3 was built on new platform known as CAST3000E which would lead to a new generation of Chinese satellites which were small but had a high performance.

AI CONTROL
The new platform carries solar panels with a unique structure that stop them shaking when the satellite turned quickly.

Equipment like telescopes and antennas, were also designed using new technology, such as AI control, to protect the satellite from the physical impact caused by rapid movement.

The Chinese satellite is said to be able to store one terabyte of images and beam data to the ground at the rate of one gigabyte per second, faster than any US satellite.

Me waiting patiently for our NL pastor to cum before I comment

Patiently waiting for @holinessforever to change to his main account @righteousness2 and tell us how God helped China to build the Satelite so they can destroy Nomerica the beast nation

He is cooking the scriptures already.

Righteousness2:
Imagine how Porous the "Sleeping Giant" aka Nomerica has become

Babylon has fallen oooooooo. Gog and Magog don get high resolution satelite o. Lucifer don dey take high resolution pictures from the sky ooooo. Nairalanders run for your life oo

Plenty weapons already in space orbiting the earth. The next world war na the end of the world

If the can see you, they can blast you

Righteousness2:
[s]How are the Mighty Fallen!!!

Imagine how Porous the "Sleeping Giant" aka Nomerica has become,

Imagine the back to back ridicule on a Nation Blessed and Powered by GOD ALMIGHTY to be a Super Power.

Imagine how the Sleeping Giant is becoming a Comedy among the Committee of Nations ALL because of a Leadership that has turned its back on GOD.

When GOD sets HIS face against a Nation or Person for Evil, you become a Symbol of Caricature.

When GOD sets HIS Face against a Nation or Person for evil, you become an Execrations, a waste, a curse, a Desolation and a Reproach.

When GOD ALMIGHTY watches over a Nation or Person for evil, HE gives you Cheaply into the Hands of them that will Destroy you. HE Empowers your Enemies.

When GOD Sets HIS Face against a Nation for evil, Even your own Weapon will Fight against You.

The Government headed by Sleepy Joe has brought to Climax, God's Wrath and Judgement on Babylon the Great.

As for the people of GOD still there! Fear not! Relax and be still! GOD ALMIGHTY will always shield HIS own from HIS Wrath.[/s]

Lol... ... Another Trumpesque trash....

He's done that already.... ... so predictable.... Trump loss for that election really hit people hard

The United States seeks to keep its place as the dominant naval power across East Asia, where Washington and its allies believe Beijing is trying to reorder international rules and military alliances in place since World War II.

Visit "U.S Defence Today" on Youtube if you want to be overwhelmed by U.S new military inventions.
I dont know why China keeps making noise over simple invention

So, because China launch camera to space, e mean say the world wan end?
eeeh Righteousness2 and 89?

Ahmback:
Hey everyone, browse about US' "rod of god" and watch youtube videos of it. I wonder why u.s of a doesn't make noise when doing theirs.
chinkos too mumu sha

chinkos are foolish... They need hype so that other countries can purchase their weapon... Unfortunately, who purchases a cloned technology? Something that my TECNO spark 4 can do, mumu chinkos are proud of..

Very foolish country...... USA no dey make noise....... Na the D day go determine...

Anyway I already dug a 100km underground for myself.. The facilities involved supermarket, stadium, estates and so on..... Even if the world end, I will be alive... I will take as much as possible pretty slim and average ladies with me.... So we can pro create another set of sane human beings

Most comments here are so irrelevant.... Una go leave main topic, go dey face the irrelevant ones.... Spit on una head.. Tuehhhhhhhh

It seems most of you here want to be recognized by attacking righteousness2 all time... We all know holiness is righteousness but u guys keep singing it up and down as if it is new... I realized dt u guys want to feed off from his relevance.... So many Adult-kids

Make una get sense... Contribute to the post and stop this thing.... Let everyone be

Something that our SAT1 satellite is doing... the way we hype this people eeehhh



Nigeria will be great

They are so foolish yet they keep lending your country billions of dollars investing in your country's infrastructure. Yet you are still here bitter and pained just because your slave master America didn't do what the chinkos have done for your country instead exploited your country and continent for its own gain. No get high blood pressure the chinkos are set to overtake your slave master. You will continue to seeth in rage and pain like a wounded dog.

Cannibal... Continue with ur childish argument and leave my post alone...

In other words, Pastor Righteousness is a prophet of doom.
China is just experiencing scientific breakthrough.
They will eventually come down after passing through this their scientific adolescent age.
They will realize like those that spearheaded the formation of United Nations after the 2nd World War that world wide war can only lead to devastation of our beautiful planet and destruction of lives.
Our, earth will heal and it will be transformed into a Paradise.
The current threat to the world Peace is Islamic Extremism and Overpopulation/Poverty ,especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and SE Asia.
But, with the current reforms ongoing in UAE, Saudi Arabia and higher access to Western Education, extremism will be subdued in poor countries like Afghanistan ,Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, etc
