Very cool. Always interested in these hi-res photos for agricultural field monitoring. A little pricey though.

ETA: 5 sq km seems big for a minimum. Multispectral availability is super cool tho!

Take a look at www.arlula.com that marketplace offers 1 kilometer minimum orders with many of their suppliers. It seems like this space is getting quite competitive.

Cool, I was wondering if this would be useful for farmers. Could you share more info on how multispectral images would be used?

Well with SAR you can get moisture content of soil which can help with crop yields. Right now third parties do this for ag work but our goal is to have integrated analytics cause really a farmer doesn't care about the imagery he or she cares about crop yields...that's what we are solving for.

Interesting, thanks!
