Renewable Energy & Satellites
These orbiting machines collect sunlight, wind, weather, and land data to help fight climate change.
SATELITES!
Satellites track how much of this reaches different regions and how clouds affect its availability.
SUNLIGHT!
Astronauts rely on this method of growing plants without soil.
HYDROPONICS!
According to the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, space-based data is essential for this global effort.
FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE!
The limitation of soil, water, and space in orbit forced scientists to create hydroponics as a solution for this group of people.
ASTRONAUTS!
Hydroponics uses this type of water to feed plants instead of soil.
NUTRIENT-RICH WATER!
Satellites help scientists figure out the best places to install these solar and wind energy systems.
SOLAR PANELS & WIND TURBINES!
This technology allows countries to plan large installations that capture sunlight for energy.
SOLAR FARMS!
Hydroponics saves water and reduces this type of output, which is almost zero in space-grown systems.
WASTE!
This type of energy relies on steady, strong airflow, which satellites help measure across oceans, mountains, and plains.
WIND ENERGY!
What is the first space probe launched into space?
SPUTNIK 1!
Astronauts taste dulls so, what type of foods do they like?
SPICY!
By optimizing placement of wind farms and solar panels, satellites help reduce reliance on this type of fuel.
FOSSIL FUELS!
How many hours of sunlight provide more energy than humanity uses in a year?
1 HOUR!
Vertical farms and greenhouses on Earth use this type of space-inspired technology.
HYDROPONICS!
