Satellite & Geospatial
Satellite and geospatial data is imagery of the Earth's surface and the measurements derived from it — ships in ports, cars in parking lots, crop health, construction activity — converted into countable investment signals.
The primer
Satellite and geospatial data starts as imagery captured from orbit, then becomes useful once machine-learning models detect the objects that matter: cars in a parking lot, ships in a port, oil in a storage tank, or the health of a field. The result is a measured time series of physical activity, often available before any official figure. Investors use it for commodity supply, retail traffic, and industrial output. Revisit frequency, cloud cover, detection accuracy, and history depth drive the value.
