Are satellite images reliable?

Are satellite images reliable?

The accuracy of the positioning device is related to the absolute accuracy of the captured image. Since satellites orbit 500km above the earth at a speed of more than 20,000km/h, the positioning device needs to be very sophisticated to be accurate.

How often do we interact with satellite imaging?

These images are updated approximately every 15 minutes as we receive data from the satellites in space.

What are the limitations of satellite images?

Disadvantages. Because the total area of the land on Earth is so large and because resolution is relatively high, satellite databases are huge and image processing (creating useful images from the raw data) is time-consuming. Preprocessing, such as image destriping is often required.

Is there a satellite that can see through walls?
