Technological Trends in Remote Sensing
Significant technological advances and substantial reductions in the costs of operating satellites, launch services, supporting infrastructure, data storage and transmission technologies have led to a dramatic rise in the availability of satellite imagery for civilian use in recent years. This rise in availability of satellite imagery stems from a larger number of satellites launched into orbit by space agencies from many countries of the world and some private companies.
The Philippines and Japan have signed a memorandum of cooperation (MOC) to enhance their partnership in space science and space exploration.

Al Ain is using artificial intelligence to analyse the quantity and health of its thousands of palm trees.
The collaboration with Mohammed bin
Rashid Space Centre counted 45,000 palms in Abu Dhabi s Garden City , analysing satellite imagery to an accuracy of 98.7 per cent in less than seven days.
Before technology was introduced, the most reliable way to assess land use or crop performance was to send surveyors into the field to measure by hand.
The process was slow and expensive to determine if crops were healthy and the yield was good, according to US research non-profit RTI International.
