How does Formula 1 relate to IoT? More than you might think. 🏎‍🟀📡 During every lap, hundreds of sensors collect data on everything from tyre conditions and speed to engine performance and energy consumption. This constant flow of information lets teams monitor performance, analyse changes, and make data-driven decisions in real time. In Formula 1, every millisecond matters — and behind those milliseconds is data. 📊 #Azercosmos #F1

Azerbaijani music has travelled farther than you might think. 🎶 🛰️ In 1977, a recording of Azerbaijani mugham performed on the balaban by renowned musician Kamil Jalilov was selected for NASA’s Golden Record, sent aboard Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on their journey beyond our Solar System. Today, as we celebrate National Music Day, we celebrate a piece of Azerbaijan’s musical heritage that continues its journey among the stars. ✨ 📸Pictured here is NASA’s Golden Record — carrying a piece of Azerbaijani music into space.

Following an initiative by the Azercosmos team, the map covering Azerbaijan on the EOSDA platform has been successfully updated. 🌏 During our review of the platform’s basemap, we identified outdated settlement names, particularly across the #Garabagh region. To support the update, our team shared relevant information published through Azerbaijan’s official Open Data Portal, providing an authoritative reference for the country’s official geographical names. Following a detailed review by the EOS product team, the relevant map data was updated. As a result, the official names of settlements including #Khankendi, #Khojavand, #Aghdara, #Sugovushan and others are now accurately reflected on the platform. This update demonstrates how cooperation, authoritative open data and attention to geographical accuracy can improve the quality of information available to users of international digital platforms. We sincerely thank the EOSDA team, for their constructive cooperation, careful consideration of the official data provided and successful implementation of the update.

Accuracy in satellite imagery starts with proper alignment. 🛰️ Imagery acquired by different satellites, on different dates, and from different viewing angles does not always align perfectly. Such discrepancies can directly affect the accuracy of comparison, monitoring, and analysis. Azercosmos’s Co-Registration service aligns different satellite images to a common reference system, ensuring their precise spatial alignment. As a result: 📍 Spatial discrepancies and the margin of error between images are minimized; 📅 More accurate comparison of imagery acquired on different dates is enabled; 🛰️ Images captured from different viewing angles are spatially aligned; 🔎 Change detection and monitoring become more reliable; 🤖 A more accurate and reliable data foundation is created for AI-based analysis. The service can be effectively applied across a wide range of fields—including agriculture, urban planning, environmental monitoring, emergency management, energy, oil and gas, mining, forestry, and infrastructure monitoring — where accurate comparison of imagery from different dates and satellite operators is essential. #Azercosmos
