AAC-AIS-Sat 1, a Swedish commercial satellite carrying an AIS receiver to track ship transponder signals across open ocean, part of AAC Clyde Space's growing portfolio of maritime domain awareness satellites. AIS-tracking satellites like this one form an increasingly dense global mesh, letting maritime authorities monitor vessel positions across open ocean where no coastal radar station could ever pick up a ship's signal.
