Exciting New Announcement
We are currently taking applications for a new Weather Satellite
Imagery Service. This service will be distributing
low latency realtime weather satellite images through a
partner provided streaming internet
service. This data is the full
resolution imagery and lightning data directly received from the
GOES East Weather satellite with the advantage of almost no
latency to on screen image where most sources have a several
minute latency.
We have got a grant to provide this data continuously to
qualified organizations for at least three years at no cost.
We plan to distribute for a decade or more but there may be a
nominal yearly cost after the first three years.
Qualified organizations are any organization associated with
operational meteorology or aviation meteorology in developing
countries in the Americas and any educational institution for
educational or research purposes. This
offer includes small airports that in many countries
would significantly benefit from these low latency images and
lightning data.
Use of the imagery requires partner provided high quality
equipment and powerful easy to use software that we are making
available under this program at a big discount.
There are several options depending on desired capabilities
starting at under $3000 USD, contact us for details.
An internet link of at least 2Mbps is required and the number of
spectral channels provided is scaled based on connection speed.
It is designed to operate well over intermittent
internet connections, like 4G modems and SpaceX
StarLink.
To apply for this simply write wxsat@aquilasys.com.
We will get back to you within a week with
details on options and how to proceed.
Company
Aquila Systems is a
non-profit company with an over 20 years history of supporting
various endeavors in the areas of Astronomy, Meteorology, and
recently climate change.
We endeavor to deploy
and support unique science based solutions to organizations of
need.
In the past we have
deployed dozens of Weather Satellite ground stations with
powerful easy to use software and have worked with NASA and
IBM on related projects.
Cause
We focus on weather
monitoring and climate change by recommending and providing
unique solutions to manage commercial and residential power
and heat usage. As conservation
through technology is the best short term way to combat
climate change. In the near future we will
have a web page dedicated to this that will expand over time.
With climate change
all types of severe weather have become on average more
frequent and severe. Requiring wide
scale satellite and radar systems to effectively monitor and
provide warning of concerning and dangerous weather.
Normally these vital
systems could affordably be procured by Met services in most
developing countries and small territories.
However recently many governments have slashed funding for
many departments due to the pandemic which although over has
reduced tax revenue and increased medical care costs due to
continuing cases and long COVID making many capital
procurement's impossible at this time.
We have announced a new initiative, described above, to
provide these vital systems and low latency data at a very low
cost.
Crypto-Heat
Many people
crypto-mine but almost no one is making money any longer after
paying for the required electricity. The only
mining that makes sense for the home user is to have your
miners generate beneficial heat in addition to some Crypto!
It is important that you distribute this heat to
make it effective. Here we have some ideas on how to
best do this.
You can contact us
with questions or comments at
info@aquilasys.com. We will try to give a
brief reply to most emails but as we do not do this full time
replies will likely take a few days.
Coast Watcher
Aquila Systems
also hosts the Coast Watcher ezine (now in its 18th year)
with many interesting articles about historical and
contemporary aviation.
