Title: The REAL geoscape
Post by: Sandro on May 17, 2012, 02:51:11 pm

Hi, and sorry for being absent for some time.

Here is the interesting thing that appeared recently: the video taken from the Elektro-L, the new Russian weather monitoring satellite. It is geostationary, so view is almost like one in the game, and takes 121 megapixel shot every 30 minutes.
Youtube link (recolored to true color, satellite shoots in 4 color components to be able to see the foliage): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGEm30fdRoo

Also, for those who interested, here the short launch video (alas, it was overcast, so rocket hides behind clouds very fast): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcJQmljCiOk
