This sounds great. What is the imagery going to be used for?
- container volume in and out of ports (which are usually in industrial zones right next to airports)
- daily crop harvest rates from the midwest states
- a small undergrad research team in Oregon is analyzing the mist and water turbidity of Willamette Falls to determine flow rate and the impact to salmon runs
- estimating the amount of oil moving in and out of Cushing, Oklahoma by measuring the shadow cast on tanks over 3,500 times per day
- wildfire detection and monitoring on non-daylight flights
There are a bunch of other demos and use cases on our social accounts as well--we're @notasatellite on all the platforms.
On the anthropology side, it might also be useful for looking at statistical information about populations/settlements that's difficult to collect other ways due to either the remoteness of the area and the frequency of other data sources. Things like nomadic migration patterns or land use in areas like Siberia / Mongolia, Myanmar, or northern Canada.
