Evidence · Capability, in evidence

What the satellite record showed before the headlines.

Two retrospective analyses using publicly available satellite archives. Each shows what was visible — and what traditional sensors missed.

Case study · Brazil · 2019

About eleven months of escalating signals.

Every ground sensor on Dam I showed nominal readings. Three independent satellite layers were firing. The fourth, the failure-date model, never triggered.

Thirteen months of warnings.

The August 2025 explosion at Battery 13/14 had been visible from space for over a year. Four operational signatures climbing through severity bands. None of them reached procurement teams in time.

Both are forensic retrospective analyses using publicly available satellite archives, not active client engagements.

Case study · Assam, India · 2022–2025

The quietest tea estate in Assam.

Four years of continuous satellite monitoring at a supplier the standard stack had categorised as low-risk. Three of four signals corroborated to documented operator events; the fourth correctly reattributed away from the operator.

Forty-eight hours, then the satellites.

Nornickel maintained a cover story for two days after a 17,500-tonne Arctic diesel spill. Publicly available satellite imagery ended it within days. The $2 billion fine that followed was the largest in Russian history.
