Presumably the "9X higher" imagery is due to the fact that this company's satellites will fly much lower than the current commercial fleet. OP says as much in his post -- they'll fly "in the atmosphere."
So no Nobel-prize level achievements needed in optical breakthroughs.
- slingnow 6y agoDo you have any data to back up that simply lowering a satellite can achieve a 9X increase in image resolution? Or are you merely speculating?
- enriquto 6y agoIf you divide the height of the satellite by X then the resolution is multiplied by X. This is Thales theorem [0]. What else do you need? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_theorem
