MarineTraffic is a maritime analytics provider, [1] which provides real-time information on the movements of ships and the current location of ships in harbors and ports. [2] A database of information on the vessels includes for example details of the location where they were built plus dimensions of the vessels, gross tonnage and International ...
The Maritime Monitoring and Messaging Microsatellite (M3MSat) is a tele-detection satellite developed by the Canadian Space Agency and launched in 2016. Its mission is to demonstrate and test the technology to assess the utility of having in space an Automatic Identification System (AIS) for reading signals from vessels to better manage marine transport in Canadian waters.

The purpose of the satellite is to improve surveillance of maritime activities in the High North. AISSat-1 is a nano-satellite, measuring only 20×20×20 cm, with an AIS receiver made by Kongsberg Seatex. It weighs 6 kilograms and is shaped like a cube. [13] [14]
Google Earth is a web and computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography , and GIS data onto a 3D globe , allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles.
By the end of the 1980s, satellite services had started to take an increasingly large share of the market for ship-to-shore communications. For these reasons, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a United Nations agency specializing in safety of shipping and preventing ships from polluting the seas, began looking at ways of improving ...

Some locations on free, publicly viewable satellite map services have such issues due to having been intentionally digitally obscured or blurred for various reasons of this. [1] For example, Westchester County, New York asked Google to blur potential terrorism targets (such as an amusement park, a beach, and parking lots) from its satellite ...
The Argos System is served by 9 polar orbiting satellites at an altitude of 850 km and completes a revolution around Earth approximately every 100 minutes. At a vantage point of 850 km, satellites cover approximately 5000 km 2 of Earth. Each satellite was intended to be Sun-synchronous, with passes almost at the same solar time each day ...
