Crater Collection

Posted on by May 31, 2025

This was a most rewarding Quest but also many hours spent on setting up Slooh Sentinel 2 missions, processing and fitting all my images onto the template.

Since Slooh introduced Earth Sciences, I have been able to get amazing satellite views of our planet. The more I explore, the more I realise that we do have a wonderful world.
The best part will be learning more about each of these craters.

Congratulations Slooh! This one was quite an adventure.

Satellite Explorer Quest

Satellite Explorer Quest
My first Earth Science using Sentenel-2.
My first port of call was home base. Obvious were urban features , mountains, areas with vegetation and the large body of water, which is called False Bay.
Next in line I visited the Kogel Bay Nature Reserve which is part of the Cape Floral Kingdom. Satellites are used to monitor the invasion of alien vegetation.
I meandered up the west coast of Africa to Walvis Bay (Namibia) where ocean meets the Namib desert. Typical of this region is the fog and low clouds that roll in due to the cold Benguela current and s/westerly winds. The tiny square patches in my image looked a bit large for normal urban buildings. I established that these were Saltworks. The ponds are artificially flooded and being rich in nutrients attract wetland birds such as flamingos.
