Now here's the question, since I am not well versed in this subject.
If you fire a Sat at LEO, in this case 500km out I think. It is not stationary, and will be circling the earth at an orbit. In this case, how often would you be able to take pictures of the same area to monitor changes from the previous days
And if I am not mistaken, the orbit may not always cross near the target area? Which means you may have to wait until it does to take a photo? In the case of a LEO sat, you would have a few days delay between pictures?
And another thing, once the photo is taken how long would it presumably take for the image to actually be transferred to the ground station. Is that a long process?
