Why am I sharing information on China space endeavors? It’s really to counter numerous critics who say China is a bad state actor and do not share their space exploration and innovations. Again, if it is not in English it does not mean the information doesn’t exist. From CNSA Watcher: “China's lunar space station and plan to develop a lunar molten cave base - the core module of the lunar base deploys a lunar molten cave, and can also deploy an inflatable cabin section and a double-layer inflatable entrance dome. In the future, lunar solar fields and communication stations will also be built. The temperature of the pressurized habitable section of the lunar base is about 25°C, the temperature of the molten cave is 17/-43°C, and the temperature of the lunar surface is 117/-173°C.” Video source: Harbin Institute of Technology Extraterrestrial Architecture Research Center

#Land surface emissivity (#LSE) represents an essential parameter for understanding land change and surface energy balance. While numerous algorithms have been proposed to retrieve LSE, they are seldom applied to remote sensing data with high spatial resolution. In International Journal of Digital Earth latest study researchers provides an opportunity to retrieve LSE using #SDGSAT1 satellite with high spatial resolution that can be regarded as references for validating LSE products generated from coarse-spatial-resolution satellite data. This study fills gap through evaluating the radiometric calibration accuracy of #SDGSAT-1, using five methods to retrieve #pixel-level emissivity of #Guangzhou, and comparing such results with emissivity generated from other satellites (e.g. #Landsat8, #ECOSTRESS, and #MODIS) that transited Guangzhou during the similar period. Results indicated that #SDGSAT-1 performed well in radiometric calibration. Heterogeneous vegetation and man-made surfaces registered significant emissivity differences in varying spatial resolutions, whereas relatively homogeneous water bodies registered smaller differences. Decreasing spatial resolution amplifies the emissivity differences of the same land cover among distinctive sensors. The five emissivity-retrieval methods performed exceptionally well based on #SDGSAT-1, registering average absolute differences less than 0.026 as compared with #Landsat8; with decreasing spatial resolutions, the maximum difference between #SDGSAT-1 and #MODIS LSE product reached 0.124.

How to apply Space Design to Earth?🌎 The Space Architecture Workshop is living proof that space design can not only inspire us but also provide us with tools and know-how to solve problems on earth. If you don’t believe it, we’ll show you one of the incredible projects developed in the 2023 edition of the Workshop: DRAINA. 🔎The ‘Draina’ project represents a self-sufficient ecosystem designed as part of the Space Architecture Workshop 2023. Functioning as both a habitat and an energy source, Draina uses a combination of analogue and high-tech technologies, including solar panels and wind turbines. Inspired by the intricate design of termite nests, Draina’s central unit is organically 3D printed, promoting natural ventilation. The teardrop shape of the structure facilitates the flow of wind, avoiding external stress on the overall integrity of the system. Draina is biodegradable as an immovable unit, emphasising environmental awareness in space architecture. Let’s meet the team! 🇮🇹 Eleonora Vena 🇹🇳 Meriem Allani 🇵🇹 Rodrigo Vieira 🇩🇪 Roman Forest ...And what would your project be like? Come share your ideas at the new edition of the Workshop.

This will work best when the servicing satellite interface becomes standardized on the serviced satellite. To take full advantage, additional design life considerations will need to be factored into initial designs. https://lnkd.in/exN7MGeK

#SpaceResearch 22: Lunar and Martian habitats will need to be modular. At BIM4Space, we're developing modular construction techniques to allow for flexibility and expansion of space habitats. #ModularConstruction #SpaceHabitat #BIM4Space #FlexibleDesign

Revision of EN15221-6 for space measurment in buildings are speeding up. On my way home from two very effective days in Helsinki. How do we measure odd shaped buildings like the beautiful main library in Helsinki?

Design Space Exploration is the process of finding a design that meets the necessary design requirements from a selection of potential designs. We have optimised this process to enable more design options to be explored. What does this mean? More ability to trade off different feasible designs with a reduction in design cost and time as well as clarity in the decision making process. Find out more below. #DigitalEngineering #DesignSpaceExploration #Optimisation
