Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signals can “see” the surface of the Earth during the day or night, and under nearly all weather conditions. In addition, the signal can penetrate through the vegetation canopy and detect inundation. These capabilities are unique to radar and make it an ideal sensor for flood detection and monitoring.

In recent years, climate change, extreme weather, population growth and urbanization have led to an increasing number of people being threatened by compound disaster risks, and it has become a global challenge to mitigate disast
The Copernicus Sentinel-2C satellite is set for launch on 4 September 2024 from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana. Fully fueled and pressurized, Sentinel-2C will enhance the European Union's Copernicus Earth observation program, a crucial initiative for global environmental monitoring and disaster risk management.
The United Arab Emirates has made a significant leap in its space capabilities with the successful launch of its first Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite. The satellite, developed by Bayanat AI PLC and Al Yah Satellite Communications Company PJSC (Yahsat) in partnership with ICEYE, was launched on 16 August 2024.
Senegal has taken a significant step in its journey towards technological sovereignty with the successful launch of its first satellite, Gaindesat-1A. The earth observation nanosatellite was launched on 16 August 2024, from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched the EOS-08 earth observation satellite on 16 August 2024 on board of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV-D3). This marks the third and final developmental flight of the SSLV, placing the EOS-08 satellite precisely into a 475 km orbit.
