Albedo Space is an American satellite imaging company founded in 2020. The company is developing a very low Earth orbit satellite which will be able to capture images with a 10 centimeter resolution.
Earth’s albedo as monitored by the CERES satellite system shows a darkening of Earth that has caused 1.7 W/m 2 warming since 2010. [23] That amount, only some of which is climate forcing, is equivalent to a 138 ppm increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide. [23] Greenhouses of Almería, Spain
For the small outer irregular moons of Uranus, such as Sycorax, which were not discovered by the Voyager 2 flyby, even different NASA web pages, such as the National Space Science Data Center [6] and JPL Solar System Dynamics, [5] give somewhat contradictory size and albedo estimates depending on which research paper is being cited.
In 2016 Skeyeon filed the first VLEO satellite patent describing commercial satellite operation in orbits from 100 to 350 km (62-218 mi), with plans to put satellites into VLEO orbit. [citation needed] Companies such as Albedo, EOI Space, Thales Alenia Space and others announced plans at later dates. [3]
Cloud albedo is a measure of the albedo or reflectivity of a cloud. Clouds regulate the amount of solar radiation absorbed by a planet and its solar surface irradiance . Generally, increased cloud cover correlates to a higher albedo and a lower absorption of solar energy .
It is 90 percent certain that Ceres has no moons larger than 1 km in size, assuming that they would have the same albedo as Ceres itself. [6] Eris has one large known moon, Dysnomia. Accurately determining its size is difficult: one indicative estimate of its radius is 350 ± 57.5 km. [7]
In planetary geology, an albedo feature is a large area on the surface of a planet (or other Solar System body) which shows a contrast in brightness or darkness with adjacent areas. Historically, albedo features were the first (and usually only) features to be seen and named on Mars and Mercury .
The density of both the primary and the satellite is estimated at 1.24 g/cm 3, assuming that they have equal density. [ 10 ] [ 8 ] On the other hand, if the density or albedo of the satellite is lower than that of primary then the density of Varda will be higher up to 1.31 g/cm 3 .
