Tracing criminals with ... giant cheese shavings

The device is nicknamed rather funny - "chessegrater", the cheese cell - is a super-modern radar satellite that has "eye-magic" that looks through the clouds, helping to capture criminals in areas of deep jungle. u most.

A state-of-the-art device called NovaSar , manufactured by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (Surrey, UK) under UK government orders, is able to detect smuggling activities worldwide, including the darkest places. like the Amazon forest in the Americas.

Although it was a dangerous warrior, it was nicknamed quite funny as "chessegrater" , ie . the cheese cell, because its shape really resembled this tool.

According to Dr. Graham Turnock, Executive Director of the British Space Agency, the new satellite is very compact but is equipped with extremely sensitive radar capable of capturing extremely good images. It works like a world-wide "natural eye" and is able to see through the densest cloud layers.

One of its major goals was to prevent loggers and illegal timber shipments from the Amazon , the mysterious forest that all aerial imagery had previously been obscured by many thick clouds.

In addition, this satellite will closely monitor the oceans. It will easily capture suspicious large ships - not following mandatory identification signals under international law.

In addition, NovaSar is also an environmental fighter: it can detect oil spills early, floods from upstream ., thereby giving early warning signals and providing image data to Disaster handling campaigns are operated more efficiently.

The satellite has just left Earth on September 16, launching from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in India. The second sad news for those who are considering shady transports is NovaSar's brother S1-4, an extremely high-resolution optical satellite that is also about to "go out".
