So, a question here is, what makes synchronizing multi-instrument observations uniquely challenging in this VLEO compared to slightly higher orbits? Again, we got the higher-lower comparison here.
7:43
Yeah, so you're orbiting what appears to be very quickly.
7:46
As you go over a ground site, you're going by what appears to be much faster than when you're at higher altitudes.
7:52
Just think of the geometry there.
7:54
And so you've got to make sure that you're turning and looking very quickly if you're looking at something on the ground or wherever your target is.
7:58
So you've got to take that into account.
8:00
But at the same time, your geometry is so important, your space vehicle geometry is so important, it can de-orbit you if you're not having the right front view and your surface area is large.

As VLEO capabilities expand, what kinds of questions are customers asking now that they weren't asking even a few years ago?
