Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #32602: The Ural Sentinel: Uragan - Ural’s Space-Based Disaster Watch

The Ural Mountains are home to vibrant ecosystems and industrial zones, but they are also susceptible to various environmental threats. Uragan - Ural aims to safeguard this region by using satellite-based surveillance to monitor for both natural disasters and industrial accidents.

From space, the system can detect signs of deforestation, mining impacts, pollution events, and forest fires. This data is invaluable for regional planners, conservationists, and emergency services. By integrating space technology into local environmental management, Uragan - Ural brings cutting-edge science to regional challenges.

The real power of the Uragan project lies in its repeatability and global relevance. What’s learned in the Ural Mountains can be applied to other areas facing similar risks. It exemplifies the role of the ISS as a global observatory working to make Earth a safer place.
