Question: What questions do you get from the satellites?

The questions come from people on Earth! I use data from satellites to help people answer them 🙂

This can mean that one day I can be looking at mines in Chile in working out how much material has been mined away in a month… Or I could be tracking planes taking off from airports around the world… Or I could be analysing videos of rush hour traffic in all the major cities.
Working on all of these things gives you answers to questions that would basically be impossible to answer, without looking down at it all from space.
