OUR NanoAvionics, an advanced manufacturer of small satellite buses, decided to take a peculiar approach to make an interesting move: he used a camera GoPro Hero 7 make a video inselfieour planet in 4K. The device is capable of taking photos with 12 MP and personnel in UltraHD. It is possible to observe a microsatellite MP42 NanoAvionics itself is 550 km higher coral reef and gives Great Barrier Reef (Australia).

Watch on the official channel YouTube of those involved, beautiful and impressive images:

The popular camera model was chosen because it has an affordable price and has technical characteristics corresponding to its purpose. Clearly, adjustments were needed to hero 7 to face the adversity of such a project.

They removed the camera from the body, leaving only its internal components. Then the structure created NanoAvionics was used, adapted to the temperature changes to be encountered. Finally, proprietary software has been created that allows the exchange GoPro with satellite MP42.

Vitenis J. Buzas, company co-founder says:

“The reason why we took photos and videos with the Great Barrier Reef in the background was partly symbolic. We wanted to highlight the vulnerability of our planet and the importance of Earth observation from satellites, especially for monitoring the environment and climate change.”

horns shortly thereafter concluded:

“Photos and videos from satellites around our planet can grab attention and help more people and organizations realize the social, economic, educational and environmental benefits that satellites offer. They can also inspire more people to pursue careers in the growing space industry.”

Another advantage of such approaches, according to their creators, is the fight against disinformation, such as claims that only large corporations or powerful governments have access to space.

With the development of technology that was once only available to sci-fi films and major agencies, like NASAcan be seen more clearly using small constellations of satellites.
