The Fully Brazilian Satellite Amazônia 1, Expected to Launch on February 22, 2021, Will Protect the Amazon Rainforest from Deforestation

The Amazônia 1 satellite, developed in Brazil, will be used to provide more accurate data and monitor especially the Amazon Rainforest for deforestation. It was shipped on Tuesday (12/22) to India, where it will be assembled and launched into space in February 2021. Looking for a job?

It took 52 special containers to safely transport the satellite’s modules, which weigh 638 kg. The shipment took place on an aircraft that departed from São José dos Campos in São Paulo.

The Amazônia 1 project started eight years ago, developed at the National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) in partnership with the Brazilian Space Agency, being the first Earth observation satellite entirely designed, integrated, tested, and operated by Brazil. The project is coordinated by the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovations (MCTI) and cost R$400 million.

About the Brazilian Satellite Amazônia 1

With six kilometers of wires and 14 thousand electrical connections, Amazônia 1 will be the third Brazilian remote sensing satellite in operation, alongside CBERS-4 and CBERS-4A.

Amazônia 1 is a sun-synchronous orbit satellite (polar) that will generate images of the planet every 5 days, thereby having the capacity to provide a significant amount of data from the same point.

To achieve this, it has a wide-angle optical imager (camera with three bands in the visible spectrum VIS and one band near infrared Near Infrared or NIR) capable of observing a strip approximately 850 km wide with 64 meters of resolution.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Without mortar, without water, and without mess: young people create a dry flooring system that fits ceramic tiles like a puzzle, reduces construction time, and promises to revolutionize the way floors are installed in civil construction.

A rare gas cuts through the hot springs in Zambia and reveals a deep fault that may penetrate the crust down to the Earth’s mantle.

Paper money is disappearing from Brazilians’ pockets, with the issuance of new banknotes dropping by 31% from 2020 to 2025, amid the explosion of Pix, which became the most frequent payment method for 46% of the population, while cash plummeted from 42% to 22%.

Ports without drivers and cabins already move containers like automated factories: robotic cranes, autonomous electric vehicles, and software transform giant terminals into 24-hour logistics machines.

They built an entire village of houses with their own hands made of earth and old tires, in the ecovillage Aardehuis, in the Netherlands, where 44 residents live in Earthships that generate almost all the energy, heat with the sun, and treat sewage in their own garden.
