A south London school is on track to become the first all-girls school in the world to send a satellite into space. The independent Croydon High School in south London, has designed and built a working satellite which they aim to launch into low-Earth orbit in the next couple of years. They hope the plan, called Mission Pegasus, will inspire girls to take on science, technology, engineering and maths subjects, known as STEM, where females are still under-represented.

The MethaneSAT satellite lost contact with controllers on June 20, after being launched in March 2024 for measuring methane emissions. It is likely not recoverable.

Remote sensing data can be characterized by spatial, spectral, radiometric, and temporal resolutions, significantly influencing the effectiveness of various sensors used.
