TXMission Helps Combat Climate Change

TXMission Helps Combat Climate Change

March 24, 2022

TXMission has released a white paper, titled Combatting Climate Change, that looks at how LEO satellites and airborne vehicles, such as UAVs and High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) are helping to monitor climate change and provide disaster relief services such as backup communications systems for areas affected by devastation. It also describes how TXMission is actively involved in providing solutions in the form of off-the-shelf payloads and communications systems for this sector.

The role of earth-observation satellites in monitoring climate change is well established. And while debate around climate change is nothing new, natural disaster news stories have unquestionably caught the widespread attention of the general public and governments around the world. This is leading to ever increasing investment in satellite-based climate-change monitoring. If the frequency and intensity of natural disasters continues to increase then battling climate change is set to become a game-changing business opportunity for the LEO satellite industry. In addition to monitoring, satellites are set to play a key role in future regional disaster relief efforts by providing instant cellular and broadband backup communications.
