?? Open Cosmos launches its fourth satellite of 2023
ALISIO-1, which stands for Advanced Land-Imaging Satellite for Infrared Observations, is a 6U satellite developed for the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, which aims to revolutionize Earth monitoring capabilities and enhance optical communications from space.
?? Satellite-Sharing Enables Low-Cost Earth Observation?
EOSDA and Open Cosmos are part of an emerging trend for earth observation (EO) satellites: they aim to use mini-constellations of small satellites to offer specialized EO data in much the same way bigger companies such as Planet and Maxar offer high-resolution optical data to customers of all kinds.
?? The impact of natural disasters on insurance rates in 2023

This puts the total cost of billion-dollar disasters to more than $1.1 trillion over the past ten years.?
