Time of Development: Years Price: Hundreds of millions Size and weight: A mini-bus Resolution: 30cm - 1m Revisit: once a day Data Price: >$30/sq km

Time of Development: Months Price: Hundreds of thousands Size and weight: A mini-bar Resolution: 1m - 2.5m Revisit: many times a day Data Price: >$0.25/sq km

Satellite?

13.1 km x 14 km = 183.4 sq km 1 pixel is 30cm x 30cm = 0.9 sq m

183.4 sq km = 2.04 e+9 pixels

8 or 16 Bits per pixel, 2 to 4 GB per image

< 3,000 images per day (680,000 sq km)

6 TB to 12 TB per day
