Kayrros technologies

leverage the full extent of the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-1 data to provide accurate measurements and detect changes at scale. Kayrros can tailor a solution to monitor the radar reflection signals of metallic objects, with a revisit time of 3-12 days.

Sentinel-1

Operator: European Space Agency (ESA)
Number of Satellites: Two (S1A, S1B)
Sensor Type: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
Revisit times:

Normal: Each satellite revisits the same location on its orbit every 12 days.
Tasked: If both satellites are tasked to acquire an image for a given location, the revisit time is reduced to 6 days.
Emergency: In emergency situations such as the Abqaiq incident in September 2019, the satellites can change orbits to reduce the revisit time to 3 days.

Coverage: Global, with exceptionally good coverage across Europe and lower coverage across some northern regions
Resolution: 3x14m In IW mode (storage product mode), 3x3m in stripmap mode

Use case

Measuring retail and industrial activity from parking lot occupancy

Kayrros can tailor a solution to monitor the radar reflection signals of metallic objects with revisit times of 3 to 12 days

By doing so, Kayrros monitors car density in retail and industrial parking lots to assess the impact of COVID-19 on consumer demand.
