Satellite imagery is an extremely useful source of data for emergencies and potential emergencies. It provides large scale surveillance of conditions, but now at spatial resolutions down to 0.5m. There are some 140 earth observing satellites in orbit, representing a huge virtual constellation of surveillance capability, expected to double in the current decade. However, in many cases these data are not being used effectively for emergency response because of a reactive approach in the industry to image acquisition. We propose to develop and define a pro-active approach to the tasking of satellite imagery in emergency response by the monitoring and interrogation of social media feeds as well as alerts from relevant organisations, so that the data can be rapidly accessed and exploited by emergency responders. The outcome of this proposed project will be a defined capability to optimise the use of satellite surveillance in a range of emergency situations. The market for this is considerable and currently under-served by satellites for a number of reasons which we intend to address technically and commercially.

卫星图像是紧急情况和潜在紧急情况的一个极为有用的数据来源。它提供了大规模的条件监测，但现在的空间分辨率低至0.5米。目前大约有140颗地球观测卫星在轨道上运行，这是一个巨大的虚拟监视能力星座，预计在本十年内将翻一番。然而，在许多情况下，这些数据并没有被有效地用于应急响应，因为行业中的图像采集方法是被动的。我们建议制定和定义一种积极主动的方法，通过监测和询问社交媒体的反馈以及相关组织的警报，在应急响应中分配卫星图像的任务，以便应急响应人员能够快速访问和利用数据。这一拟议项目的成果将是在一系列紧急情况下优化使用卫星监测的明确能力。这方面的市场相当大，但由于若干原因，目前卫星服务不足，我们打算在技术和商业上解决这些问题。
