Does anyone know why you have to purchase a 2.4m dish antenna and two FULL RACKS of equipment to schedule image acquisitions and download images? Why does each customer need to be able to communicate with the satellites directly instead of via a web interface?
- jonah 12y agoMaybe they're distributed ground stations and all clients are contributing to the network of receivers?
