The abundance of data that satellites collect about our planet is not very useful in its original form, but once it is processed and applied to specific situations, it can help solve a myriad of problems on Earth. For example, remote sensing technology can be used to detect environmental changes, satellite communication can assist with remote services and natural disaster management, and human spaceflight has advanced our understanding of medicine.
