About the latest webinar – 6 hours, live and interactive

***Certificate-Based Course***

This is a limited-enrollment, live and interactive program. Data Analytics for Satellite Imagery  is a virtual course for professionals and university students who are interested in the basics of the space sector and disruptive technology.

As the cost of satellites drops, we have unprecedented access to petabytes of data, with the variety and volume of imagery increasing exponentially. Hand-in-hand with this influx is increasing computing capacity, which allows us to interpret images and generate actionable data for a number of sectors, including maritime, supply chain, and agriculture. This workshop focuses on agriculture:

Learning objectives for this webinar focus on data analysis for the agriculture sector and the NASA Harvest program, with a focus on guided, hands-on learning opportunities including:

  • aquire knowledge about NASA Harvest and satellite image processing

  • apply your knowledge analyze of Landsat 8 data using your own computer

  • access over the internet to a handheld satellite (“CubeSat”) simulator to remotely operate a desktop model using your own computer

This interactive course is limited in size to maximize interaction with knowledgeable university faculty and industry experts. 

AstroHub is excited to partner with NASA Harvest Sneha Manimurugan to offer this unique training opportunity. After this workshop you will:

  • Understand use cases for satellite-based Earth Observation (EO) data
  • Be able to identify the basic steps for space-based image processing
  • Apply basic algorithms to extract and identify agriculture regions in EO data
  • Know the basic systems of a satellite

13 and 14 November 2021, daily from 1100 to 1400 SGT

What they say about our workshops

Training the Workforce of the Future

“I was not sure what to expect because the class was taught remotely, but I was quite impressed with the entire process. I cannot express how great the instructor(s) was and the overall content of the material. The instructor(s) was incredibly knowledgeable and articulate. The facility was very professional and there were no problems with connectivity. I would definitely recommend this to my co-workers as well as friends. Thank you!”

-Anjeeshnu Das, Research Fellow, UPES, India, 2021

“The Introduction to Cubesats course at AstroHub is an amazing opportunity for people who are looking to work in the New Space industry, because you get to learn from and interact with professionals who work on actual space hardware and have many missions under their belts. To me, this kind of access to knowledge for basically anybody is what lowering the barrier to entry looks like in practical terms. So far I am completely self-taught and have no formal training in engineering, so it was invaluable for me to hear what I’m getting right about Cubesats and which areas I need to focus on in my studies. Thanks for making this workshop happen!”

-Manuel Imboden, Entrepreneur and Film Producer, 2021

“Dr. Bidushi’s CubeSat workshop is a fantastic first foray into this exciting ,new domain for everyone – making the technology accessible, it’s a highly recommended introduction to this game-changing platform and gave us practical insight into our target market.”

-Simon Gwozdz, CEO and Founder, Equatorial Space Industries
