What are some of the greatest contributions of SRTM?
I'm looking for real world application, uses cases.
Best lead so far is a 2011 "SRTM DEM and its application advances" that goes over some research papers + shows it was used in some natural disaster mapping
The more specific the better

A few radar images made their way into Johnny Harri’s last video about War in Space
And I couldn’t help but smile seeing my name in the corner there too!

I'm looking for any info about how & why it was decided to use the Space Shuttle do create SRTM in 2000
A few questions I have:
- How of the world had we mapped in 3D before 2000?
- Why the Space Shuttle over a dedicate satellite (or pair of satellites)
- How the data was processed

My first demo of Fused to a live audience at @geomob.bsky.social London yesterday!
Catching up a with familiar faces -and new ones- is always nice!
It's nice to get some live feedback from people rather than doing everything online / remotely
If you were present and want to follow up, hit me up!

I'm doing more & more research on the history of GPS and I'm amazed by the official US Gov's dedicated website for GPS: gps.gov
It's so old school it actually looks cool
And it ends up quite easy to navigate (would have been ironic otherwise)

Turns out spending half a year making a video about a game series leads to a lot of in game hours
Most played game of 2024: FS2020
1/5th of all my playing time of the year on that 1 game

The AWS favicon looks a lot like the Vision Pro's Photo icon to turn 2D images into 3D
Special thought to @davidimel.com: Is the cube the sparkles emoji of "spatial computing"?

I really enjoyed @kylebarron.dev 's interview on the CNG website about his background and then the usefulness of cloud native geo formats
I've been looking for a good, concise resource to 1. read on and 2. send people to for "WHY" we need cloud native formats
Any recommendations?

ESA has these cool ads in Amsterdam’s airport
Makes me smile to see Sentinel 2 images in the airport
But I have no idea why it’s branded as Ariane 6, when Ariane didn’t send Sentinel 2 🙃

Alright bluesky, I need your help
A week ago I dropped a 45min doc about the history of Flight Simulator, now seen by 220k+ people
I'd like to have Jörg Neumann, the head of Microsoft Flight Simulator on my podcast to talk about Flight Simulator 2024
Can anyone put me in touch?

It seems like the game is somewhat stable now, so I just got the latest Flight Sim
If the weather is still crap in the Netherlands I might stream for a bit to explore the world, see how it holds up to the previous ones
