Tasking is the act of “ordering” new satellite imagery from a specific satellite. To task a satellite, coordinates of an area of interest (AOI), time frame and interval are sent to the satellite provider. The satellite will capture an image of that area during the specified time period, weather permitting.
The “tasked” image is then provided to the customer in their specified output format. The available outputs are based on the satellite’s capabilities. Tasking satellite imagery provides a customized experience where you can specify the exact place and time frame, the resolution and the amount of KM covered in the imagery.
There are different ways to access satellite imagery for commercial use. If you choose to use a marketplace like StarPath Global, you simply specify what you’re looking for, and we will identify the most suitable provider and coordinate the tasking process on your behalf.
By connecting users with a global network of satellite operators, STARPATH GLOBAL provides access to a wide range of commercial satellite data, including optical, multispectral, and radar (SAR) imagery. Whether you need sub-meter optical imagery, all-weather SAR data, or multi-temporal change detection products, we can source the data that best matches your requirements. Combined with access to extensive historical archives, this enables us to deliver reliable geospatial intelligence for oil and mineral exploration, urban planning, agricultural monitoring, defense, and disaster assessment.
