Tiny satellites that photograph the entire planet, every day | Will Marshall

Prevodilac: Nebojsa Kracun Lektor: Mile Živković

The Earth needs no introduction.

Zemlju ne treba predstavljati.

It needs no introduction in part because the Apollo 17 astronauts,

Ne treba je predstavljati delom zahvaljujući astronautima broda Apolo 17,

when they were hurtling around the moon in 1972,

koji su tokom svoje jurnjave oko meseca 1972,

took this iconic image.

načinili ovu poznatu sliku.

It galvanized a whole generation of human beings

Ona je podstakla celu generaciju ljudskih bića

to realize that we're on Spaceship Earth,

da shvate da smo na Svemirskom brodu Zemlja,

fragile and finite as it is,

krhkom i konačnom kao što jeste,

and that we need to take care of it.

i da moramo da se brinemo o njemu.

But while this picture is beautiful, it's static,

Ali ova slika, iako je lepa, je statična

and the Earth is constantly changing.

a Zemlja se konstantno menja.

It's changing on days' time scales with human activity.

Ona se menja svakodnevno uz ljudsku aktivnost.

And the satellite imagery we have of it today is old.

I satelitske slike nje koje imamo danas su stare.

Typically, years old.

Tipično, godinama stare.

And that's important because you can't fix what you can't see.

I ovo je važno jer mi ne možemo popraviti ono što ne vidimo.

What we'd ideally want is images of the whole planet every day.

Ono što mi idealno želimo su slike celokupne planete svakodnevno.

So, what's standing in our way?

I, šta stoji na našem putu?

What's the problem?

Šta je problem?

This is the problem:

Ovo je problem:

Satellites are big, expensive and they're slow.

Sateliti su veliki, skupi i spori.

This one weighs three tons.

Ovaj teži tri tone.

It's six meters tall, four meters wide.

Visok je šest, a širok četiri metra.

It took up the entire fairing of a rocket just to launch it.

Bila je potrebna cela konstrukcija rakete samo da bi se lansirao.

One satellite, one rocket.

Jedan satelit, jedna raketa.

It cost 855 million dollars.

Košta 855 miliona dolara.

Satellites like these have done an amazing job

Sateliti kao ovi su uradili neverovatan posao

at helping us to understand our planet.

pomažući nam da razumemo našu planetu.

But if we want to understand it much more regularly,

Ali ako želimo da je razumemo mnogo redovnije,

we need lots of satellites,

potrebno nam je mnogo satelita,

and this model isn't scalable.

i ovaj model nije skalabilan.

So me and my friends, we started Planet Labs

Tako smo ja i prijatelji osnovali Planet Labs

to make satellites ultra-compact

da napravimo satelite kompaktnijim

and small and highly capable.

i malim i veoma sposobnim.

I'm going to show you what our satellite looks like:

Pokazaću vam kako naši sateliti izgledaju:

This is our satellite.

Ovo je naš satelit.

This is not a scale model,

Ovo nije maketa,

this is the real size.

ovo je stvarna veličina.

It's 10 by 10 by 30 centimeters,

On je 10 puta 10 puta 30 centimetara,

it weighs four kilograms,

teži četiri kilograma,

and we've stuffed the latest and greatest electronics

i ubacili smo najnoviju i najbolju elektroniku

and sensor systems into this little package

i senzore sistema u ovo malo pakovanje

so that even though this is really small,

tako da iako je veoma mali,

this can take pictures 10 times the resolution of the big satellite here,

on može da pravi fotografije 10 puta bolje rezolucije od ovog velikog satelita,

even though it weighs one thousandth of the mass.

iako teži samo hiljaditi deo njega.

And we call this satellite "Dove" — Thank you.

Zovemo ovaj satelit "Golubica" - Hvala.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

We call this satellite "Dove,"

Zovemo ovaj satelit "Golubica,"

and we call it "Dove" because satellites are typically named

i zove se "Golubica" jer se sateliti obično imenuju

after birds, but normally birds of prey:

po pticama, ali najčešće po grabljivicama:

like Eagle, Hawk, Swoop, Kill, I don't know,

kao Orao, Sokol, Jastreb, ne znam već,

Kestrel, these sort of things.

Vetruška, takve stvari.

But ours have a humanitarian mission,

Ali naši su na humanitarnoj misiji,

so we wanted to call them Doves.

i zato želimo da ih zovemo Golubice.

And we haven't just built them, though.

I nismo ih samo napravili.

We've launched them.

Lansirali smo ih.

And not just one, but many.

I ne samo jednu, već mnogo.

It all started in our garage.

Sve je počelo u našoj garaži.

Yes, we built our first satellite prototype in our garage.

Da, napravili smo svoj prvi prototip satelita u našoj garaži.

Now, this is pretty normal for a Silicon Valley company that we are,

Ovo je veoma normalno za kompaniju iz Silikonske doline poput nas,

but we believe it's the first time for a space company.

ali mi verujemo da je ovo prvi put za svemirsku kompaniju.

And that's not the only trick we learned from Silicon Valley.

I to nije jedini trik koji smo naučili u Silikonskoj dolini.

We rapidly prototype our satellites.

Mi često radimo prototipove satelita.

We use "release early, release often" on our software.

Koristimo moto "pusti rano, pusti često" na našem softveru.

And we take a different risk approach.

I uzimamo drugačiji prilaz riziku.

We take them outside and test them.

Izvadimo ih napolje i testiramo ih.

We even put satellites in space just to test the satellites,

Stavili smo satelite u svemir da bismo testirali satelite,

and we've learned to manufacture our satellites at scale.

i naučili smo da pravimo naše satelite po skali.

We've used modern production techniques

Koristimo moderne tehnike proizvodnje

so we can build large numbers of them,

kako bismo napravili veliki broj njih,

I think for the first time.

milsim da je to prvi put.

We call it agile aerospace,

Zovemo to agilnim aviosvemirom,

and that's what's enabled us to put so much capability into this little box.

i to nam je omogućilo da stavimo toliko mogućnosti u ovu malu kutiju.

Now, what has bonded our team over the years

Sad, ono što je povezalo naš tim tokom godina

is the idea of democratizing access to satellite information.

je ideja o demokratizaciji pristupu satelitskim informacijama.

In fact, the founders of our company, Chris, Robbie and I,

U stvari, osnivači naše kompanije, Kris, Robi i ja

we met over 15 years ago at the United Nations

smo se sreli pre 15 godina u Ujedinjenim nacijama

when they were hosting a conference about exactly that question:

kad su održavali konferenciju baš na tu temu:

How do you use satellites to help humanity?

Kako sateliti mogu pomoći ljudima?

How do you use satellites to help people in developing countries

Kako da sateliti pomognu nerazvijenim zemljama

or with climate change?

ili sa klimatskim promenama?

And this is what has bonded us.

I ovo nas je spojilo.

Our entire team is passionate about using satellites to help humanity.

Ceo naš tim je posvećen korišćenju satelita da bi pomogli ljudima.

You could say we're space geeks,

Možete reći da smo svemirski štreberi

but not only do we care about what's up there,

ali ne samo da nas zanima šta je tamo gore,

we care about what's down here, too.

već nas zanima i šta je ovde dole, takođe.

I'm going to show you a video

Pokazaću vam video

from just four weeks ago of two of our satellites

dva naša satelita od pre samo četiri nedelje

being launched from the International Space Station.

kako ih lansiramo iz Internacionalne Svemirske Stanice.

This is not an animation,

Ovo nije animacija,

this is a video taken by the astronaut looking out of the window.

ovo je video koji je snimio astronaut kroz prozor.

It gives you a bit of a sense of scale of our two satellites.

Daje vam osećaj za razmeru naša dva satelita.

It's like some of the smallest satellites ever

To je kao da se neki od najmanjih sateliti ikada

are being launched from the biggest satellite ever.

lansiraju sa jednog od najvećih satelita ikada.

And right at the end, the solar array glints in the sun.

I na samom kraju solarne ploče svetlucaju na Suncu.

It's really cool. Wait for it.

Baš je strava. Sačekajte.

Boom! Yeah. It's the money shot.

Bum! O da! To je kadar zlata vredan.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So we didn't just launch two of them like this,

Dakle, nismo samo lansirali dva ovakva,

we launched 28 of them.

lansirali smo 28.

It's the largest constellation of Earth-imaging satellites in human history,

To je najveće sazvežđe satelita za slikanje Zemlje u ljudskoj istoriji

and it's going to provide a completely radical new data set

i to će obezbediti potpuno radikalan novi set podataka

about our changing planet.

o promenama na našoj planeti.

But that's just the beginning.

Ali to je samo početak.

You see, we're going to launch more than 100 of these satellites

Vidite, mi ćemo lansirati više od 100 ovakvih satelita

like these over the course of the next year.

tokom sledećih godinu dana.

It's going to be the largest constellation of satellites in human history.

To će biti najveće sazvežđe satelita u ljudskoj istoriji.

And this is what it's going to do:

A ono će uraditi sledeće:

Acting in a single-orbit plane that stays fixed with respect to the sun,

postupajući kao jedno-orbitna ravan koja je fiksirana u odnosu na sunce,

the Earth rotates underneath.

Zemlja se okreće ispod.

They're all cameras pointed down,

Oni su svi kamere koje gledaju na dole,

and they slowly scan across as the Earth rotates underneath.

i one polako skeniraju Zemlju dok se ona okreće ispod.

The Earth rotates every 24 hours,

Zemlja se okreće svakih 24 sata,

so we scan every point on the planet every 24 hours.

pa ćemo skenirati svaku tačku na planeti svih 24 sata.

It's a line scanner for the planet.

To je skener celokupne planete.

We don't take a picture of anywhere on the planet every day,

Mi ne slikamo neke delove planete svakog dana,

we take a picture of every single place on the planet every day.

mi slikamo svaki deo planete svakog dana.

Even though we launched these just a couple of weeks ago,

Iako smo lansirali ove satelite samo pre nekoliko nedelja,

we've already got some initial imagery from the satellites

već smo dobili neke početne slike sa satelita

and I'm going to show it publicly for the first time right now.

i ja ću ih sada po prvi put pokazati u javnosti.

This is the very first picture taken by our satellite.

Ovo je prva slika ikada napravljena našim satelitima.

It happened to be over UC-Davis' campus

Ispalo je da je iznad kampusa Univerziteta Dejvis

in California when we turned the camera on.

u Kaliforniji kada smo uključili kameru.

But what's even cooler is when

Ali još više je kul kada ih uporedimo

we compare it to the previous latest image of that area,

sa najnovijim slikama tog predela,

which was taken many months ago.

koje su napravljene pre mnogo meseci.

And the image on the left is from our satellite,

I slika sa leve strane je sa našeg satelita,

and we see buildings are being built.

i mi vidimo zgrade kako se grade.

The general point is that we will be able to track urban growth as it happens

Poenta je u tome da možemo da pratimo urbanistički rast dok se dešava

around the whole world in all cities, every day.

oko celog sveta u svim gradovima, svakog dana.

Water as well.

Vodu takođe.

Thank you.

Hvala.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

We'll be able to see the extent of all water bodies

Možemo da vidimo obim svih vodenih tela

around the whole world every day and help water security.

na celom svetu svaki dan i pomognemo vodenoj zaštiti.

From water security to food security.

Od vodene zaštite do zaštite hrane.

We'll see crops as they grow in all the fields

Vidimo useve kako rastu u svim poljima

in every farmer's field around the planet every day.

u svakom farmerskom polju na planeti svaki dan

and help them to improve crop yield.

i pomažemo im da poboljšaju prinos useva.

This is a beautiful image that was taken

Ovo je prelepa slika koju smo napravili

just a few hours ago when the satellite was flying over Argentina.

pre samo nekoliko sati kada je satelit preletao Argentinu.

The general point is

Poenta je uglavnom u tome

there are probably hundreds and thousands of applications of this data,

da postoji stotine i hiljade upotreba za ove podatke,

I've mentioned a few, but there's others:

ja sam spomenuo neke, ali postoje i drugi:

deforestation, the ice caps melting.

nestanak šuma, topljenje polarnih kapa.

We can track all of these things, every tree on the planet every day.

Možemo da pratimo sve ove stvari, svako stablo na planeti svaki dan.

If you took the difference between today's image and yesterday's image,

Ako biste uzeli razlike između današnje i jučerašnje slike,

you'd see much of the world news — you'd see floods and fires and earthquakes.

videli biste svetske vesti - poplave, požare i zemljotrese.

And we have decided, therefore, that the best thing that we could do with our data

I moramo da odlučimo, dakle, da je najbolji način korišćenja ovih podataka

is to ensure universal access to it.

da svi imaju univerzalni pristup njima.

We want to ensure everyone can see it.

Mi želimo da budemo sigurni da ovo svi vide.

Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala. (Aplauz)

We want to empower NGOs and companies and scientists and journalists

Želimo da omogućimo nevladinim ogranizacijama i naučnicima i novinarima

to be able to answer the questions that they have about the planet.

da mogu da odgovore na pitanja koja imaju o planeti.

We want to enable the developer community to run their apps on our data.

Želimo da omogućimo programerima da u aplikacijama koriste naše informacije.

In short, we want to democratize access to information about our planet.

Ukratko, želimo da demokratizujemo pristup informacijama o našoj planeti.

Which brings me back to this.

Što me dovodi do sledećeg.

You see, this will be an entirely new global data set.

Vidite, ovo će biti potpuno novi globalni set podataka.

And we believe that together,

I verujemo da zajedno

we can help to take care of our Spaceship Earth.

možemo da pomognemo u brizi o našem Svemirskom brodu Zemlja.

And what I would like to leave you with is the following question:

Želim da vas ostavim sa sledećim pitanjem:

If you had access to imagery of the whole planet every single day,

ako biste imali pristup slikama cele planete svakog dana,

what would you do with that data?

šta biste radili sa tim podacima?

What problems would you solve?

Koje probleme biste rešili?

What exploration would you do?

Koje otkrića biste napravili?

Well, I invite you to come and explore with us.

Pozivam vas da pođete i istražujete sa nama.

Thank you very much.

Hvala vam puno.

(Applause)
