Ukraine: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Ukraine from space — geolocated events, the most active areas, and satellite imagery in one place. Free to browse on the Delta Watchfloor.
Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is
You can monitor Ukraine from space on Off-Nadir Delta — viewing Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, tracking any area over time with anomaly detection, and overlaying geolocated event signals (from global news media) and active fires. In the past 7 days, 83 event signals were recorded in and around Ukraine, most in the kinetic category.

Most active areas
Event data powered by the GDELT Project. Figures cover the mapped region around Ukraine and update hourly. For situational awareness only — not for tracking or targeting individuals.
Why Analysts Watch Ukraine From Space
Ukraine is one of the most intensively satellite-monitored countries in the world. Open-source analysts track front-line change, strikes on energy and transport infrastructure, and Black Sea shipping — work where radar imagery matters because it sees through the cloud cover that blankets Eastern Europe for much of the year.
Typical monitoring angles
- Front-line and infrastructure change detection with Sentinel-1 SAR time series, unaffected by clouds or darkness
- Ship activity around Odesa and the Black Sea grain corridor
- Power-grid disruption visible as dimming in VIIRS nighttime lights
Monitor Ukraine From Space
Off-Nadir Delta lets you watch Ukraine without any GIS software. View Sentinel-1 SAR (all-weather, day or night) and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, draw any area to build a time series with anomaly detection, and overlay active fires.
The Delta Watchfloor adds the event layer: geolocated signals in and around Ukraine, ranked by severity, that you can connect to satellite imagery in one tip-and-cue workflow.
