05: Tech in Space - How Do We Capture Images From Space? (Hubble, James Webb, Landsat and more!)

How do we capture images from the far reaches of space? Why are there so many satellites taking pictures of the Earth? What is the significance of space-based imaging in our daily lives?

In the fifth episode of The Sound of Space podcast, we discuss the technology involved in space-based imaging used to capture images of Earth and beyond. Tune in to hear the hosts discuss the motivations and implications of various imaging missions such as Landsat, Planet Labs, the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope and more!
