Large daily area collection

• Each satellite can acquire, on a daily basis:

– Up to 75 SPOTLIGHT images

– Up to 375 STRIPMAP or 150 SCANSAR images or 80 HUGEREGION

• Daily total for 4 satellite constellation:

– 1800 cloud free images, e.g.:

300 SPOTLIGHT images = 30,000 km2 at 1m resolution

PLUS

1500 STRIPMAP images = 2,400,000 km2 at 5m resolution

– 560 GBytes/day

• Peak operational profile: on a single orbit:

– up to 10 minutes continuous operations in StriMap or ScanSAR Mode

– up to 20 consecutive images in Spotlight Mode

– any linear combination of the above
