As previously announced, New Weddington is currently accessing several existing commercial satellites - via a link up to the New Weddington Isles' Prime Consul in exile in Canberra - that track over the area from latitude 51°75′S 143°04′E to 51°02′S 144°13′E which match the rough co-ordinates logged in historic sightings of the Royal Company's Islands, unclaimed territories in the Indian Ocean currently listed as 'phantom isles'.
As the area is prone to cloud cover this project will go back to 2003 in a bid to gain a tantalising glimpse of the Isles we claim. The key provider of this data is NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) which provides the capability to interactively browse over 900 global, full-resolution satellite imagery layers and then download the underlying data.
We have noted that current weather is seeing a gap in cloud cover and, whilst it still covers some of the area, there is a good chance it will move on soon and we may get a first glimpse of the New Weddington Isles, and final proof of their existence. This is timely as we prepare our celebrations for our Inaugural Renewal Day on 39th March.
More soon!!
