A ‘knitted’ satellite is launching to monitor the Earth’s surface with radar.

A new UK satellite is about to launch, wearing the latest in high‑tech knitwear. Called CarbSAR, it is due to go into orbit on Sunday.

A standard industrial knitting machine has been modified to produce fabrics from tungsten wire coated in gold, which are used to form the dish on the CarbSAR satellite.

So we have a new #paper out on using #meteosatthirdgeneration for #wildfire monitoring. It's a very cool new sensor, and I'm sure we'll see loads of cool new things coming from #mtg in the future! #EarthObservation #RemoteSensing https://doi.org/10.1016/j.srs.2026.100366

Since last year, I’ve been working on porting PolSARpro from C to Python.
Yesterday, a new version was released, adding several polarimetric decompositions and filters.

It’s still a work in progress, but it’s already usable — and steadily growing.
