With just a cell phone, you can access images captured by satellites, transmitted in real time.

A technology that was previously restricted to the military is now accessible to the general population, through devices with internet access.

Today, we bring applications that allow access to these images captured by satellites. Check out.

Satellite Imagery Apps

Check out the following below satellite image transmitter applications:

Google Maps

The first application is, without a doubt, very well known around the world. Through it, the user will be able to access traffic information, tourist attractions, streets and highways, and much more, all in real time.

In the app, the user can save their favorite locations and also save their daily routes, such as trips to work or the gym.

The Google Maps app can be downloaded from Android e iOS.

Google Earth

Another very well-known and used application around the world is Google Earth, which features even more developed technology than the previous app.

It brings a more immersive experience, where, through the Street View, it is possible to walk the streets of the world, virtually. This functionality can be very useful in several situations, such as getting to know a place before traveling there.

The Google Earth application can be downloaded onto systems Android e iOS.

NASA

And now, we bring you the famous NASA application, which has high technology in its satellites and equipment, which allows live transmission from space and Earth.

With this, the user can experience the experience of seeing space, seeing the sunset and sunrise from another perspective, seeing stars, and even having images of the International Space Station.

The NASA application can be downloaded to systems Android e iOS.

How are images captured?

Previously, in an older time, images captured by satellites were taken through analog cameras, which required them to return to Earth to be revealed before being seen.

Currently, given the great technological advances, these images are captured by electromagnetic signals, and transmitted to Earth at the same moment, digitally, live. Thus, both images and information from space and traffic are received in real time.

Many companies own and develop these technologies, such as companies Engemap, which is focused on planning and mapping, and GlobalGeo, a company that helps other companies capture satellite images for purposes such as agriculture.
