Everywhere Cloud Connectivity & Access to Space Satellite Data — Azure Orbital

<p>Connect to space satellites around the world and bring earth observational data into Azure for analytics via Microsoft and partner ground stations.</p> <p>Apoorva Nori, from the Azure Space team, joins host Jeremy Chapman to take a first look at the Azure Orbital preview. We’ll show you how it works and how it fits into Microsoft’s strategy with Azure Space to bring cloud connectivity everywhere on earth and to make space satellite data accessible for everyday use cases.</p> <p>Azure Space marks the convergence between global satellite constellations and the cloud. As the two join together, our purpose is to bring cloud connectivity to even the most remote corners of the earth and connect to satellites and harness the vast amount of data collected from space. This can help solve both long-term trending issues affecting the earth like climate change, or short-term real-time issues such as connected agriculture, monitoring and controlling wildfires, or identifying supply chain bottlenecks.</p> <p>► QUICK LINKS:</p> <p>00:00 - Introduction<br /> 00:58 - Microsoft’s focus with Azure Space<br /> 02:16 - Azure Orbital<br /> 04:36 - See it in action<br /> 07:04 - Examples of space data readings<br /> 08:40 - How it works<br /> 10:28 - Use cases for world challenges<br /> 11:39 - Everyday use cases<br /> 15:36 - Wrap up</p> <p>► Link References:</p> <p>For more on Azure Orbital, go to <a href= "https://aka.ms/orbital">https://aka.ms/orbital</a></p> <p>► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?
