28 April, 2010 (16:15 GMT), 5 Merrion Square, Dublin 2.
Speaker: Kevin Fleming, Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia.
Title: Earth Observation Satellites and Australian hydrology.
Abstract:
Earth Observation Satellites are a very useful tool in assessing the environment of Australia, given its vast area, range of climates and large areas without ground truth data. This seminar examines observations from two satellites: the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission, and the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment. These are being used within a research program at Curtin University to assess changes in the terrestrial water storage of Australia.

And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)
