"Satellite images of plants' fluorescence can predict crop yields" (2024) ... "Sensor-Free Soil Moisture Sensing Using LoRa Signals (2022)" https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=40234912

"Multimodal" Aperture synthesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture_synthesis


> The company joined Y Combinator’s Winter 2022 cohort and closed a $20 million Series A last March. Hubble’s first innovation was to develop software enabling off-the-shelf Bluetooth chips to communicate over very long ranges [600km] with low power.

> [...] Once it’s up and running, a customer would simply need to integrate their devices’ chipsets with a piece of firmware to enable connection to Hubble’s network.


... and the satellite sent back the message "Please type 3345678889 to complete pairing".
