I am kicking off the first post as a precursor to quash any assumptions on the where, the what, and the consequent why of satellite data. Leave the "how" to us and we will get it across to you in good form. We won't go into a massive diatribe on what satellite data, i.e., images are and other technical definitions. This post is more to understand the opensource data we collect to make informed decisions. Well, leave your comments and questions in the comment section!
