Until recently, any journey in the ice-infested waters of the Arctic Ocean was a journey into the unknown, with no up-to-date, detailed map of the ice conditions readily available in such a remote region of the world. Now, Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) provides Near Real Time (NRT) satellite imagery of the Arctic Ocean from the European Space Agency satellite, Envisat, and the Canadian Radarsat-1 satellite, to any International Polar Year (IPY) expedition in the Arctic Ocean.
ITT has provided a solution allowing users to be able to connect to KSAT in Tromsų using an Iridium phone to access the latest radar satellite image of the sea ice conditions immediately ahead of them. The transmission of detailed satellite images over a very low network bandwidth is possible using Image Access Solutions, developed by ITT Visual Information Solutions. Image Access Solutions offers advanced compression and high performance delivery and management of geospatial imagery and data.
