        Nowadays, the issue of climate change has aroused more and more attention. In order to
        better track this problem worldwide and figure out more feasible and targetted solutions,
        we came up with the Albedo Satellite idea. Albedo effect is an expression of the ability of
        surfaces to reflect sunlight. A little background knowledge on this, light-coloured surfaces
        return a large part of the sunrays back to the atmosphere, while dark surfaces absorb the rays
        from the sun.
      </p>

      <p>
        To encourage better urban planning, we created a module that can be attached to a satellite to
        measure the light being reflected off the Earth's surface. To combat heat buildup due to solar
        radiation absorption, the satellite can be positioned over cities so that the data can
        be measured and sent back to scientists and engineers.
      </p>

      <p>
        To demonstrate the design on a smaller scale, our prototype contains a phone, a laptop, Arduino.
        An Arduino is used to sense the luminosity of an area and outputs readings in lux, which is then
        processed in MATLAB to accurately track the change in luminosity over time. On a larger scale, the
        module would be measuring the luminosity of light being reflected off of the Earth's surface to
        track albedo levels.
