Satellite Big Data analytics will reach close to a $3.1 billion revenue opportunity by 2028, with 56% from EO applications & the rest, driven by M2M/IoT satcom applications.
As a technology with the potential to impact both satellite and ground network operators, optical satcom is emerging as a contender and/or a complement to existing radio frequency (RF) communications infrastructure.
In theory, radar imagery for Earth Observation is far superior to optical. With imagery capable of capturing scenes at night and penetrating clouds, SAR overcomes many challenges inherent to imaging the Earth with passive optical sensors. It would seem that investors are banking on these capabilities for increased coverage and insights from SAR imagery given.
These days, smallsats generate a lot of attention, from players raising millions of dollars, losing millions of dollars, or providing thousands of images to spy on Iranian oil smugglers. Among the attention and potential, it is fair to say that the overall picture of the emerging EO smallsat market is sending mixed signals. Smallsat operators,.
