We are attending Mining Tech World virtual event on March 2-3
February 8, 2021 AS Datel
Our Space Team shares information on remote-sensing capabilities in the mining industry.
SILLE offers a proactive tool for structural integrity monitoring and disaster prevention. In addition to identifying if surrounding construction, mining, or geological subsidence has caused a deformation or structural weaknesses, the service also allows users to develop a timeline for existing subsidence related issues, including data that land or structural deformities pre-existed construction or mining work.
Sille’s data can bolster transparency in the mining industry by assessing land and surrounding structures before and after mining to detect possible movement. This data can also be used as evidence to show that mining has in fact not caused any damages.
We got contact with two satellites that the TalTech, in cooperation with DATEL, launched into orbit
November 27, 2020 Datel
"Hämarik appeared silent before, but we were able to send commands to the satellite with more amplified antennas and Hämarik started communicating. The main radio does not appear to be working, but the backup radio is talking and we have regular communication. The contact with the first satellite Koit is very weak and still early to tell how the satellite is doing or what exactly happened before", said Rauno Gordon, Space center manager at Tallinn University of Technology.
