Commercial imagery

What the team acquired from commercial satellites and what commercial providers released, set against the earthquake and the field mission (15 Sep–26 Sep). The angles are those each provider publishes: incidence for radar, off-nadir for optical, and view azimuth measured from the ground towards the satellite.

Each Umbra bar is one day’s radar collects, coloured by where that day falls against the event and the field mission; the rows below place every 25 cm collect, every request the agent sent and every image a commercial provider released. Days count from the origin time.
View azimuth around the circle (north up, clockwise), incidence (radar) or off-nadir (optical) outward from the centre. Shaded sectors hold at least one radar collect.
