Awesome, so could anyone buy a copy of the same images? Which satellite
do you think happened to be taking images of the area with these ships
near the time the cables were broken? Which company is selling that
set of images?
Wouldn't it be reasonable that, when the break occurred, they used their
optical time domain reflectometer to compute the approximate location of
the break, and then just called around for whoever had the best images,
or who could quickly task the satellite to get an image?
spot can generally deliver an image within 1 day in 60kmx60km blocks
assuming no contention for the slot. 20m resolution is more than
adequate to pick up ships underway at sea. ikonos can deliver 11x11km
swaths.
