Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Ground Sample Distance (GSD) is a fundamental parameter in satellite imaging. It represents the physical size of one pixel on the ground. For our video satellite, a 1-meter GSD means each pixel in the video corresponds to a 1x1 meter area on the Earth's surface. A smaller GSD number indicates a higher level of detail and sharper imagery.

The satellite's structure, or 'bus', is primarily built from aerospace-grade Aluminum 6061-T6 and carbon-fiber composites. These materials are chosen for their high strength-to-weight ratio. The optical payload uses specialized materials like Zerodur glass for lenses and mirrors due to its extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, which prevents the optics from de-focusing as the satellite experiences wild temperature swings in orbit.

We deliver video data in standard MP4 (H.264/H.265) format for easy viewing and integration. For advanced analysis, we also provide the data as a sequence of georeferenced image frames (e.g., GeoTIFF) with accompanying metadata that includes precise timing and sensor position for each frame. This allows for seamless integration into GIS software like ArcGIS or QGIS.

Tasking is done through our secure web portal. You define your Area of Interest (AOI) by drawing a polygon on a map, and specify your desired time window and collection parameters. Our mission planning software then calculates the next available imaging opportunity and generates a command sequence, which we review and uplink to the satellite. The entire process is highly automated but includes human oversight for quality assurance.

Data latency is the time from when the video is captured in orbit to when it is available to you for download. We minimize latency through a global network of strategically placed S/X-band ground stations. This ensures that after the video satellite captures your data, it has a ground station in view for downlink relatively soon. Our target is to make data available in under 12 hours, with options for expedited "near-real-time" delivery in under 60 minutes for critical events.

We provide a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA) with all data contracts. This SLA guarantees a minimum image quality standard (e.g., cloud cover percentage, GSD) and a maximum data delivery time. If a collection does not meet the SLA criteria due to factors like excessive cloud cover, we will re-task the satellite to re-acquire your target at no additional cost.

Absolutely. Our operations are fully compliant with the United Nations Outer Space Treaty and the registration conventions. The satellite's manufacturing conforms to the AS9100 aerospace quality management standard. Our data handling and security protocols are audited and certified against ISO/IEC 27001, ensuring your data is managed responsibly and securely.
