Satellite-based Augmentation System - A base station in the sky
Satellite-based Augmentation System or SBAS can augment standalone Global Navigation Satellite Systems such as GPS in a number of areas including accuracy, integrity, and availability.
It works by collecting raw positioning data from Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) in the region, computing error corrections and disseminating these corrections to users from a geostationary communications satellite via an uplink ground station.

GRASS GIS probably doesn’t get the attention it deserves
GRASS GIS is one of the few vector topology engines out there, it can handle volumetric raster data ( Voxels), 3d vector data, works in a variety of ecosystems, GRASS functionality is accessible via a range of interfaces ... and completely free!

Cloud Detection- an open problem
Cloud detection is hard and it's an open problem. If too much water vapor gets in the way of earth imaging sensors and we can't see the surface of the earth they lose some of their value. We need to be able to detect clouds in images.
