"The fear of missing a threat between aerial patrols was a significant operational vulnerability. Orbital Advisors closed that gap entirely. Their twice-weekly monitoring provides the constant oversight we need to pinpoint leaks and encroaching threats immediately, protecting our assets and our environment."

"We used to spend a full day every month training new patrol pilots, only to have them leave within the year for the airlines. With Orbital Advisors' automated approach, there has been no training necessary."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

What is a research class satellite?

A research class satellite is a spacecraft designed specifically to conduct scientific experiments, test new technologies, or gather targeted atmospheric and environmental data rather than provide routine commercial services. In contrast, operational class satellites provide continuous, long-term commercial services like telecommunications, navigation, and weather tracking.

What is SAR?

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an active remote sensing technology that emits microwave radio signals to create high-resolution imagery of the Earth's surface.

How many satellites are in a constellation?

A satellite constellation can contain anywhere from two to thousands of coordinated satellites, depending on the mission's scope. Small constellations focus on targeted, periodic imaging, while mega-constellations deploy hundreds or thousands of satellites for continuous global coverage.
