Why Satellite Revisit Rates Matter More Than Resolution

Buyers of satellite imagery often chase resolution first. For change detection over a growing season, revisit frequency usually matters more.

Detecting change, not just capturing detail

A weekly pass at 10m resolution reveals trends a single sharp image never will — irrigation stress, canopy change, flooding cycles.

What this means for monitoring design

Design monitoring pipelines around cadence first, then layer in higher-resolution or drone-based captures only where an anomaly is flagged.
