Granada TV and The New York Times have formed a co-venture to make documentaries for The Learning Channel in the United States. We are making a one-hour documentary on the subject of Satellites. This programme will tell the story of the satellite from the very first aerial observations made from the Montgolfier's balloon flight of 1783 through to the launch of Sputnik in 1957 right up to the incredible pictures that can be taken today from space with a 10cm resolution. There are more than 8000 satellites in space and the use of pictures generated from them is limitless. We will be telling the stories of how these satellites in space can help people here on earth. From speaking to firefighters who used satellite imagery to extinguish the wildfires of 2000, to hearing from farmers in California monitor their crops and vineyards through the use high -resolution imagery. We are also very keen to speak with satellite watchers. Groups and individuals. Can anyone help with any contacts. Are you a remote sensing fanatic? I am also looking for a teenager whio is a whiz on the computer who is into satellites and remote sensing. If this is you or you know someone please email me at birgitte.johnson@granadamedia.com or you can call me collect (I am based in England but am looking for Americans. I will be in the states in a weeks time.)
