As the remote-sensing industry looks to increase the number and types of satellites launched, the team here at Quilty Analytics recently focused our own lens on a growing sub-sector of satellite imagery. In this latest analysis for our ongoing Earth Observation (EO) series, we shine a spotlight on very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery. Our in-depth report identifies the technical and market challenges satellite operators are facing as well as those they've overcome. We examine the competitive strengths of the optical imaging companies that are redefining industry expectations and use cases. The war in Ukraine has more than any other time in history brought awareness to the geopolitical, social, and military impacts of satellite imagery. We hope this report expands mainstream understanding even more.
