Some question ideas

  1. How would you use near-realtime satellite imagery? Anything novel we haven't seen mentioned?
  2. Is 6 hours really possible from acquisition to Mapbox client output?
  3. What are some potential solutions to cloud cover given rapid turnaround?
  4. If the entire postprocessing workflow is automated, is anything going to be missed without an analyst's eye?
  5. What do DigitalGlobe and Astrium get out of this?
  6. Is their entire business model now built on tasking? Is it that lucrative?
  7. Is there any downside to a complete split between hardware and software satellite services?
  8. Does Landsat 8 matter now?
  9. Does coarse-resolution remote sensing matter? (.i.e. can near-realtime high-res replace MODIS fire detection, etc.)
  10. Can government play a viable role in any part of the satellite business today?
  11. What does it mean that DARPA, Boeing and Virgin Galactic are competing to launch microsatellites?
