Uses of nighttime satellite imaging:
Nighttime satellite imagery is created by detecting emissions from human activity on the planet, including infrastructure (city lights, villages, towns, industrial and agricultural facilities, mining, gas flares, fishing vessels, etc.) and natural lights such as fires, lightning, moonlight, microorganisms, and animals.Satellite images of nighttime lighting have been used for decades as a global data source to study a wide range of socio-economic factors.

The price of nighttime satellite imaging is calculated individually for each Client.
The cost of execution is calculated on an individual basis, taking into account a specific of task.
After receiving the task description, we calculate the cost and send you a commercial offer.
Period of execution
The timeframe for nighttime satellite imaging depends on the following factors:
- Work execution period - from 5 (five) working days, calculated individually for each client.
- Work execution period depends on the total area of imaging, the number of processed images, and their type (mono-stereo), calculated individually for each client.

Creation of the final product based on nighttime satellite imaging materials:
- Nighttime satellite images of various types: black and white, color, multi-zone, synthesized;
- Thematic nighttime satellite imaging materials of various types, according to the specified directions above;
- Nighttime radar satellite imaging materials (by agreement with the Client) for comparative analysis with IR nighttime imaging;
- Maps, topographic and thematic, according to the tasks set by the Client;
- Analytical and statistical reports describing the obtained nighttime imaging data and providing useful recommendations for decision-making for the Client.
GEO INNOTER provides the Client who requested satellite imaging materials with the finished product according to the Technical Specifications on electronic media or through the Internet via FTP servers.
Requirements for Source Data
Accurate coordinates of the area of interest, requirements for satellite imaging materials (resolution on the ground, type of imaging, maximum angle of the image, maximum allowable percentage of cloud cover, nighttime period for imaging).
If it is not possible to provide the specified information, provide information about the purpose of using remote sensing materials, and the specialists of GEO INNOTER will analyze the requirements and suggest an optimal solution to the problem

FAQ
- Task to be solved using nocturnal space imagery;
- Area of interest (location / coordinates of the object in any convenient form, and the area of the object);
- Date or time interval for which archive imagery can be selected or new imagery can be obtained;
- Requirements for the imagery (angle of inclination of the image, spatial resolution, type of nocturnal imaging, cloud cover, permissibility of snow cover).
- For new imagery: If the area of work is known in advance, but imagery with the required parameters is not available in the archives of space imagery operators, and the allowable time interval for carrying out new imagery is sufficiently large to complete it in standard mode (without additional payment for expedited or priority processing), there is an option to perform speculative imagery - essentially a new imagery without any commitment to purchase. Since archival remote sensing data is cheaper than ordering new imagery, once the imagery obtained from speculative imaging is archived, it can be purchased at a reduced price. After 60 days, the price usually decreases further.
- For new and archival imagery: If the area of interest consists of multiple separate polygons that are not interconnected and each polygon's area is smaller than the minimum order size (25 km2 for archival imagery or 100 sq. km (see point 1)), it is advisable to combine them into polygons with areas larger than the minimum order size to reduce the overall cost.
