Build, launch, operate. Phantom Space is an end-to-end satellite mission provider. A lot of satellite companies are not “space” companies. They are SaaS or data that rely on satellites. At Tropical Weather Analytics, Inc. we are focused on product and customer solutions that reduce the impact of weather on businesses and governments. Not building our own satellites was one of the wiser decisions we made. Some New Space companies would have been better served by contracting out the spacecraft building part. Many startups with great tech should consider focusing on the product they deliver to customers and ledge the build, launch and operation to a qualified and proven team. Trust me, there are always unexpected delays and problems on the road to sat manufacturing.www.weathersats.com

    12 hours may not seem like much but according to several studies, just 12 hours earlier notice can save 15% of costs. More importantly, that time for preparation and evacuation can save lives.Tropical Weather Analytics, Inc. Hurricane Hunter Satellite mission will provide 12 hours earlier forecasts but just as important is where it will hit. The 2X more accurate hurricane track forecast will also be critical.Read more about our mission and learn how you can help at www.weathersats.com

    Can you think of a satellite program that has had more of an impact on our daily lives than NOAA's GOES satellites? There isn't a business on the planet that is impervious to weather. Weather affects us all and is constantly changing. It is mind boggling the number of benefits we derive from these satellites. The final GOES launches this summer. Tip of the cap to an amazing program run by NOAA Satellite and Information Service. Taxpayers are getting a tremendous return on investment from

    Hurricnae Hunter aircraft play a vital role during hurricane season as they fly directly into the storms and dropping winds and taking measurements from inside the hurricane. These birds are going to be busy this season.

    A different angle on monitoring solar activity! This satellite mission will offer advanced warning of solar activity by viewing a side of the sun from a different angle before that side rotates into view from Earth. As we were reminded the other week, solar events can affect our satellites, communications and terrestrial infrastructure. The more options we have to monitor and get advanced warning, the better.

    All signs point to a wild hurricane season. Now is the time to prepare. Hurricane Ian caused 161 deaths and $115 billion dollars in damage. I continue to revisit this one because it was one of the clear cut cases where Tropical Weather Analytics, Inc. Hurricane Hunter Satellites would have helped reduce the damages and likely loss of life. Ian was forecast to hit Tampa but ended up ripping through Fort Myers. Wrong location and not enough warning. There is so much at stake and it is urgent that we deploy the resources to mitigate the human and economic impacts. Hurricane Ian case study:https://lnkd.in/e75WYXdU

    One thing we are looking forward to when our Hurricane Hunter Satellitds launch is combining SAR data with our wind and cloud data. Great article out of ICEYE. Hurricane season is almost here and now is the time to prepare. www.weathersats.com

    Investing in prevention is exponentially cheaper than paying for clean-up and rebuild. As Climate Change continues to make weather weird and cost us more than ever before, we need to invest in improving forecasts and getting more stake holders that can share and integrate critical data. This is a good step in that direction.#weather #hurricaneseason #space #smallsatNOAA Satellite and Information Service
