ICESat-2 was developed by NASA and the University of Texas and was designed primarily for polar ice elevation and tree canopy measurements.
TCarta integrated ICESat-2 laser measurements into commercial bathymetric projects and routinely offers ICESat-2–based enhancements.
TCarta developed new machine learning-based bathymetric mapping technologies including two software packages and commercial application of NASA’s ICESat-2 satellite with funding from the National Science Foundation.
TCarta became the first company to integrate ICESat-2 laser measurements into commercial bathymetric projects and now routinely offers these ICESat-2–enhanced capabilities.
By combining ML-based SDB techniques with ICESat-2 validation methods, TCarta developed a workflow for deriving accurate water depth measurements at scale from multiple high-resolution satellite images.
ICESat-2 was developed by NASA and the University of Texas and was designed primarily for polar ice elevation and tree canopy measurements.
Delta 2 prices for NASA purchases rose from $51,000,000 in 1987 to $96,600,000 for the Delta 2 NASA purchased in 2013 to launch ICESat-2.
ICESat-2 is a successor to the ICESat satellite that collected ice cover and Earth science data from 2003 to 2010.
