Defence

Outer space had been the playfield of defense agencies since the mid-twenties. The United States and the erstwhile Soviet Union used space exploration as a means to demonstrate their technological might. The technologies developed for space exploration had their application in the military arena as well. An ideal example would be ballistic missiles and the core technology behind them. Though outer space is a common heritage, it is increasingly getting used for military objectives. Modern-day defense units are using outer space to operate military spacecraft and satellites for surveillance and communications.

Origins of modern rockets can be traced back to missiles developed during World War II. Defense forces are increasingly relying on satellites for communications, precision tracking, asset monitoring, and observation.

Defence use of satellites and spacetechnologies include:

Precession Location Tracking / Asset Tracking

Communication Systems

Terrestrial-type weapons in space

Unmanned Aircrafts / Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Early Warning System and Missile Tracking

R&D, Space Medicine

Research

Gravity defines everything on earth. However, we do not have much information on how it works and its effect on life. We are slowly beginning to learn about gravity through the pioneering efforts of the astronauts on the International Space Station. These astronauts are helping scientists in conducting experiments and investigations in outer space to further our understanding. The discoveries, improvements, and knowledge gained from space research will help us improve life on earth.

Biology and Biotechnology
Biology and Biotechnology
Zero gravity influences the cell structure of plants; the tissue growth on plants could be radically different in space. Several experiments using the culture of cells, tissues, and small organisms on the orbit helps to increase our understanding of biological processes in microgravity.
Earth and Space Science
Earth and Space Science
Ocean circulation patterns play a crucial role in climate regulation and are essential for keeping our planet safe and habitable. Monitoring various factors that affect the earth, like sea-level changes, climatic changes, volcanic activities, landslides, groundwater monitoring, land and sea ice density, pollution, and so on, are easy from outer space using various sensors and imaging techniques. Solar activity also can have an impact on the earth's atmosphere and weather patterns. Solar flares send tons of energy across space that can potentially wreak havoc on the satellites used for communications and navigation. It can also disrupt our power grids and can be hazardous for the astronauts in space.
Human Research
Human Research
Living in microgravity causes several physiological and biochemical changes in the human body. Research is underway to learn the consequences of physiological adaptations for human health and ways to counteract those changes in the human body. As such, space exploration is a major driving force behind the development of advanced medical machines. Continued research in this area would help us prepare for prolonged missions that extend beyond the earth's field of influence.
Physical Science
Physical Science
This unique microgravity environment allows different physical properties to dominate systems, and these have been harnessed for a wide variety of physical sciences. Studies in weightlessness can reveal properties that are important for energy production or environmental protection. Space research has already increased knowledge on combustion, liquids in porous substances and how dust particles behave.

Agriculture

As the world’s population is expanding at a rapid pace, space-based technology can help boost agriculture to sustain the world’s food supply. Remote sensing satellites are useful in providing key data on soil conditions, water availability, weather conditions, and climate change. New tools coming out of the space-based research will help farmers enhance production and profitability. Data provided by the remote sensing satellites help to analyze and predict the agricultural output of a region in advance. These measures are critical in eliminating food shortages and famines gross the world.

Transportation

We are living in an interconnected world where information exchange is happening at unprecedented volumes and rates. Transport infrastructure is witnessing tremendous growth as goods and people are moving between locations like never before. Enhanced communication and data traffic are required to sustain this growth. Satellite communication services help reliably transmit continuous data and are ideal for remote locations where terrestrial communications are absent or unreliable.

Ships, Ports and High Value Asset Tracking
Ships, Ports and High Value Asset Tracking
Another area of growth is going to be asset tracking, as goods worth millions and billions are traveling across the globe every day. When a ship approaches a destination port, the communication devices of the port and ship can automatically exchange useful logistic information to ensure maximum efficiency and safety.

Traffic and Accident Management
Traffic and Accident Management
As traffic density increases every day, eyes from the skies can undoubtedly help us remove congestion from our roads. When an accident occurs or during high-density traffic, the satellites can immediately identify those situations and notify the transport hubs. Such information will help the traffic enforcement agencies to alert the vehicles in the vicinity so that they can move on to an efficient route.

The Use of Drones
The Use of Drones
Drones are rapidly making inroads into the transport sector. Now, they deliver anything from pizzas to medicines. Soon, they would become the first choice responders during incidents. Due to their remarkable agility, drones can reach incident spots that are hard to reach by other means and quickly provide vital assistance.

Autonomous Vehicles and Assisted Driving
Autonomous Vehicles and Assisted Driving
Major automobile manufacturers are now adding more semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles on the road. Vehicles with assisted driving capabilities rely on connected services and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) for their operations. In such scenarios, satellite constellations play a crucial role in delivering reliable GNSS connectivity for autonomous vehicles.
