Summary:

  • ISRO and NASA jointly developed an Earth observation satellite
  • Scheduled for launch on July 30 with India’s GSLV-F16 rocket
  • ISRO’s chairman announced project details

2. Considering the Background

The launch of the Earth observation satellite will be utilized for monitoring climate change, natural disasters, and resource management. This will enhance our environmental awareness in daily life and contribute to building a more sustainable society. The reason this project is being undertaken now is that responding to the rapidly changing Earth environment is urgent. So, what impact will this project have on the future?

3. What Will the Future Hold?

Hypothesis 1 (Neutral): A Future Where Earth Observation Becomes Commonplace

With the evolution of satellite technology, Earth observation will become a part of our daily lives. As technology becomes more widespread, information will become even closer to us. However, at the same time, the importance of individual data management will increase, and concerns about privacy may emerge as a new challenge.

Hypothesis 2 (Optimistic): A Future Where Science and Education Significantly Develop

The data from Earth observation satellites will be utilized greatly in scientific research and education, increasing opportunities for children to become interested in the mysteries of space and Earth. This may accelerate advancements in science and technology, leading to a succession of new discoveries. A future awaits where our thirst for knowledge expands even further.

Hypothesis 3 (Pessimistic): A Future Where Earth’s Environment Deteriorates

If the observation data is not utilized and warnings continue to be ignored, the Earth’s environment may continue to deteriorate. Unless people accept change, natural disasters and resource depletion might progress, potentially lowering our quality of life.
