Deimos Imaging is a Spanish company that works with satellites. They use a special system called Remote Sensing to take pictures of Earth from space. This helps us learn about our planet.
The company uses two satellites, Deimos-1 and Deimos-2. They also have ground stations in Spain, like in Boecillo and Puertollano. These stations receive the pictures sent down from the satellites.
What Deimos Imaging Does
Deimos Imaging collects images from space. They use these images to create helpful products. For example, they can track how crops are growing. They also monitor the environment.
