SaaS? Satellite as a Service?

• d_silin 7y ago
  Yes, more or less.

    This is ridiculous and I love it. Do your satellites have cameras that can be interfaced with as well? Could I have a satellite monitoring a specific area 24/7?
    • d_silin 7y ago
      Yes for cameras. No to 24/7 monitoring for quite a long while - need a really large constellation for that (think Starlink/OneWeb scale).

        Understandable - could I instead strategically rent time slots for when the satellite passes over a certain location? That's not 24/7, but once a day for basic data science is certainly enough.

          I'm actually a bit sorry to derail the grandparent (totally fine !) sales process :) but if what you want is daily imagery of a specific place for data science purpose, check out Planet Labs, they do just that !

            Thanks for the mention. I can't seem to find any mention of pricing on the Planet Labs website; do you have any idea what it should come out to if I take a picture of a 3x3 mile square every day for a month?
