Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #32600: Landslide Watch from Orbit: The Mission of Uragan - Sel

Landslides are one of the most unpredictable natural disasters, often triggered by rainfall, earthquakes, or human activity. Uragan - Sel is designed specifically to help monitor and predict these events using space-based observations. This project focuses on high-risk mountainous regions where landslides can destroy infrastructure and endanger lives.

The system works by analyzing changes in terrain over time. Satellite imagery from the ISS allows scientists to track shifts in land elevation, detect early warning signs of slope instability, and forecast potential landslide zones. With real-time data, authorities can issue warnings and prepare evacuation plans, reducing the risk to human life.

By studying landslide-prone areas globally, Uragan - Sel also contributes to a broader understanding of geohazards. It shows how combining Earth science and space technology can protect vulnerable communities and improve disaster preparedness around the world.
