REIMAGINING EVENT OBSERVATION WITH

Earth Observation Platform
Ever wished you had a way to fully orbit our planet in real-time while searching for notable events that might be happening live on the ground? Well… now you can, using our latest Earth Observation Platform that features the power of Unreal Engine!
Features
The Earth Observation Platform offers unparalleled capabilities.
Geocentric state-of-the-art 3D navigation and interface
Real-world scene illumination and physically-based rendering
Realistic camera emulation with bloom, exposure, chromatic aberration, and lens flare effects
24-hour day/night cycle with real-time UTC synchronization
Accurate sunrise, sunset and high noon times with equation of time implementation
Accounting of time zone and DST settings, as well as Sun’s angular diameter (subtended angle)
Solar positions for 21-Dec-2023, comparing UTC times: 11AM (left) to 11PM (right)
Annual ecliptic orbiting with leap year consideration
Accurate emulation of axial tilt (ecliptic obliquity) and orbit eccentricity
Synchronized solstices, equinoxes, aphelion & perihelion events
Solar positions for UTC time: 8PM on 07-Jan-2023 (left) vs. 31-May-2023 (right)
Accurate topography (hypsometry) & bathymetry mapping
