Background

Every day more than a dozen foreign-operated, public-good, non-commercial, medium to low resolution satellites fly over Australia and its territories. They cross the continent several times a day and their sensors capture images of the landand coastal waters.

Satellite overpass schedules for each spacecraft are predictable and can be calculated with a degree of accuracy. The Daily SatPaths provides information on which satellite sensors have and will potentially acquire data over Australia during a given date and time interval. It is important to note that actual acquisition schedules may differ from those presented in Daily SatPaths due the operational limitations of the satellite.
