New user-selectable azimuth angles for SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite tasking through Umbra. This feature offers much more control over SAR imaging. Our "pizza slice" tool shows you where the satellite will look from. Think of it like a flashlight shining on your target. Moving the slice lets you choose the best angle to see what you need, whether inside a building or in a deep valley. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gbiXBBR3 Also, explore SkyFi's PRO feature with Tasking Pass selection. It is available for individuals ($20/month) and organizations ($500/month). Key Benefits for azimuth angles: -Enhanced Flexibility: Choose satellite viewing angles to capture specific features and avoid shadowing. -Strategic Viewing: This technique is ideal for peering into hangars, under bridges, or down valleys. Our pizza-shaped selector visualizes the satellite's perspective. -Consistent Large-Area Imagery: Simplify mosaicking for seamless large-scale maps. -Improved Change Detection: Make temporal comparisons more accurate with consistent angles. -Industry-Specific Solutions: Customize imaging for unique sector requirements. -Geographical Challenge Navigation: Optimize data quality in complex terrains. #SARImaging #EarthObservation #SatelliteTechnology SkyFi
