Quality of life for paraplegic children

摘要

An internal competition at IBM in the UK has led to technology that could potentially improve the quality of life for very young children with paraplegia and their parents. Observing the Earth Australia is to boost its Earth-observation capabilities following an agreement to access data from NovaSAR-S, a first-in-class small radar satellite developed by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited. SSTLwill provide Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) a 10 per cent share of the tasking and data acquisition capabilities from NovaSAR-S, which is due for launch later this year. NovaSAR-S is a technology demonstration mission designed to complement much larger, complex radar satellites with a smaller, more cost-effective platform that delivers Earth-observation Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery day and night.
