VENUS Satellite, The Next Eye in the Sky

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday March 13, 2006 @05:04AM from the fly-eye-in-the-sky dept.

Erica Campbell writes "According to IsraCast, Israel and France are working together on a new micro-satellite called VENUS, which is supposed to be far more advanced then present satellites. VENUS, which will be launched in 2008, will carry a unique Super Spectral Space Camera, and will have an advanced plasma-thruster engine for propulsion. From the article: 'The Israeli-French project will allow farmers to better treat their crops, fisherman to locate large quantities of fish in mid-sea and will also vastly increase the ability of the scientific community to study and monitor the flora and fauna in many areas around the globe.'"

Sez a French Farmer: "Mon dieu! I feel like I am being watched by a goddess on a mountain top!"
Sez a Fisherman: "Mais oui! It is like I can feel her crystal eyes burning into the back of my head!"
