Space Imagery in Poor Light16/01/2012 |
| It has been demonstrated that it is possible to capture space imagery of regions in the extreme north of Russia in poor lighting conditions. In late December 2011, ScanEx (Russia) conducted satellite imaging of the damaged ship Oriental Angel, stranded off the coast of the Chukot Peninsula (62.5 degrees of north latitude). Elevation indicating level of illumination constituted from 0 to 1-2 degrees. |

The captured images enabled the condition and location of the damaged vessel, frozen into the solid ice at the Cape of Military Topographers to be assessed. For the series of the Chukotka area images, EROS A and EROS B satellites were used. These satellites ensured creation of images in asynchronous mode with accumulation of signals by slowing down the scanning.
ScanEx RDC offers services on operational detailed imaging of sites in northern regions under conditions of insufficient illumination in winter periods. Areas of emergency situations, industrial facilities and sites being constructed or residential areas can be the objects of imaging. Space imaging is an effective tool to assess damage caused by emergencies, to control industrial activities and to assess current situations.

Using Total Stations for Indoor Radiation Mapping |
|
A total station can be used for many applications. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (USA) uses a total station for indoor radiation characterisation, which enables the team to better perform environmental assessments. This video shows how it is done.
