This is a pretty cool idea but I didn't see anywhere that it would be open-source. On the contrary I expect this to be super expensive, at least in the beginning. As a side note, open sourcing all of the software would be useful but not enough to get your own satellites up.
- m0nastic 12y agoThey link to their Github page which has their software in it: https://github.com/satellogic https://github.com/satellogic I agree though that just having the software isn't of much use to anyone. I just think it's very interesting. Also, I don't know what their business model is going to be (I assume selling access to the data), but in my head I imagined time-sharing satellite access (which is probably way too complicated for them to do).
- salehenrahman 12y agoAlthough, it does say it's open source at the bottom of the "technology" page [1], at the top of it, it boasts how it's using "proprietary satellite technology," and they don't seem to be very disappointed by their choice in technology. I'm honestly confused. [1] http://www.satellogic.com/#!technology/c1w2a http://www.satellogic.com/#!technology/c1w2a
- kashkhan 12y agothe satellite design is definitely not open sourced. The camera objective size and number of satellites is not mentioned anywhere.
