The space tracker was the final piece of the puzzle for the ICARUS project, enabling unprecedented global monitoring of the migratory patterns of wildlife.
ICARUS 2.0 is set to employ 5-gram GPS tags, with future plans for sub-1 gram devices, enhancing tracking capabilities for conservation and public health.
According to Martin Wikelski, ICARUS 2.0 will be critical for addressing environmental problems like climate change and tracking zoonotic diseases like SARS.
The Max Planck Society is facilitating the launch of ICARUS 2.0 with plans for a CubeSat constellation, emphasizing the need for innovative technology in conservation.
