Calculator

Satellite downlink.

How many more scenes reach the ground each day when they’re compressed on board.

How it works

What this assumes.

The figures are estimates for planning, not a quote.

Every pass is used in full.
Whole scenes only: a part-scene waits for the next pass.
On-board processing keeps up with capture.
