Modeling and Simulation of Commercial Satellite Imagery Processes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249833383)

The purpose of this research was to develop a general, statistical model of order-to-delivery times for comm al satellite imagery. The research looked at the current four satellites providers with 3-meter or better imagers in the context of a generalized model of co mercial imaging satellite operations. Existing methods use orbit analysis tools to determine imaging time of a specified target based on defined satellite position and times but can only develop shortest and longest times to an imaging opportunity.
