Here, in low earth orbit, we're going around the earth, so we can actually use an Internet protocol phone because we have the appropriate satellites that can get those bandwidths. Peggy Whitson

Phone Internet Appropriate Earth Those Because Around Protocol Get Going Orbit Low Use Satellites Actually Here

GPS is expensive because it is a very slow communication channel - you need to communicate with three or four satellites for an extended duration at 50 bits per second. Robert Love

You Communication Communicate Slow Three Channel Bits Per Because Very Duration Expensive Satellites Extended Four Second Need

All of us know today the value of communications satellites, weather satellites, resources satellites, etc. Rusty Schweickart

Today Value Weather Resources Know Etc Us Communications Satellites

Satellites record data in different parts of the light spectrum that we can't see. And it's that information that allows satellites to be so powerful in terms of looking at things like vegetation health, finding different kinds of geology that may indicate an oil deposit or some kind of mineralogical deposit that can be mined. Sarah Parcak

Health Light Looking Different Kinds Kind Finding Kinds See Indicate Record Some Data Vegetation Powerful Like Terms Parts Geology May Oil Different Information Deposit Different Parts Satellites Things Spectrum

What satellites help to show us is we've actually only found a fraction of a percent of ancient settlements and sites all over the world... It's the most exciting time in history to be an archaeologist. Sarah Parcak

Time History World Settlements Ancient Percent Only Exciting Exciting Time Over Most Sites Us Show Help Satellites Found Actually Fraction

Change Benefits Weather Field Every Think Analysis Benefit Melting Detect Could Ecosystem Track Sheet Scientific Scientists Diseases Goes List Ice Use Show Satellite Map Satellites Nearly Imagery

It's an important tool to focus where we're excavating. It gives us a much bigger perspective on archaeological sites. We have to think bigger, and that's what the satellites allow us to do. Sarah Parcak

Perspective Focus Important Think Tool Archaeological Gives Allow Important Tool Sites Where Bigger Us Much Satellites

What these satellites do is they record light radiation that's reflected off the surface of the Earth in different parts of the light spectrum. We use false color imaging to try to tease out these very subtle differences on the ground. Sarah Parcak

Light Try Differences Earth Out Record Color Parts Surface False Off Reflected Very Different Subtle Different Parts Use Radiation Ground Satellites Tease Spectrum Imaging

Tom Snyder was born to broadcast. He loved television and it loved him back. In that, he was a member of a vanishing breed, especially as narrowcasting displaces broadcasting, 'online' replaces 'on the air,' and any Tom, Dick or Mary can be monarch of a desktop domain, uplinking themselves to satellites in space.
