Satellite Monitoring

Continuous observation of agricultural fields using orbiting satellites for crop management.

Agricultural satellite monitoring uses repeat observations from orbiting sensors to track crop development throughout the growing season. With Sentinel-2's 5-day revisit cycle, farmers can monitor vegetation health, detect stress, and verify treatment effectiveness almost in real-time.

Modern monitoring systems combine optical (Sentinel-2) and radar (Sentinel-1) data for cloud-free coverage. AI algorithms detect anomalies, generate alerts, and provide actionable recommendations. This enables proactive management rather than reactive responses.
