Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate to satellite tasking systems and methods. More specifically, embodiments include an operations center configured to receive a tasking order from a client and to generate satellite instructions for the satellite based on the tasking order. In some examples, a security tag is generated and associated with the tasking order. The security tag is correlated with the client on a remote server.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate to synthetic aperture radar image capturing and scene reconstruction using a cluster of multi-static satellite receivers. More specifically, in some embodiments, the cluster of receivers retrieves a flight path over a communication network. Flying in-formation, a lead or main satellite sends radio or wave pulses to a target area and additional satellites capture an echo of the wave pulses after the waves bounce off the target area to capture SAR radar data. The radar data can be transmitted from the cluster of satellites to a radar stations or to the main satellite. The radar stations or the main satellite receive the SAR radar data and mapping to reconstruct the data as SAR image data that can be reconstructed as 2D or 3D landscapes and scenes using the SAR image data.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for simulating synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to be captured by a radar-based imaging system. SAR technology can be used to capture large areas on Earth, from a satellite in space for example, over a single pass. A further pass over the target area can help identify changes in the landscape, scenery, and/or infrastructure providing insight on change detection, temporal analysis, or other measures; however, repeat passes over the target area may have been made from differing angles resulting in artifacts in one or both of the processed images from the two passes. In various embodiments, information about the topology of the target area, and information about the SAR platform's flight path are used to simulate the slant range distortion effects that are to be expected in the SAR image of for that pass.

Abstract: A tasking network system comprising a client system configured to send a tasking order and providing instructions for operating a remote device anonymously. An operations center including configured to receive an incoming tasking order and processor handling the incoming tasking order without receiving the client ID from the client. A security tag is associated with the tasking order which may be correlated in a remote server.
