The Spanish high-resolution land imaging mission, known as SEOSAT-Ingenio, will provide high-resolution images of Earth’s land cover. By imaging Earth’s land in remarkable detail, the satellite will benefit society through various disciplines including cartography, monitoring land use, urban development and water management. With its capability to look sideways, it can access any point on Earth within three days, and will be used to help map natural disasters such as floods, wildfires and earthquakes – as well as help with one of humankind’s biggest challenges: climate change.
