Satellite & Sensor Analyst allows you to add satellite and sensor analysis to your geospatial views,
creating temporal layers of satellite position data and sensor footprints which can be analyzed against
other GIS feature classes. You can use this tool to:
- Determine imaging opportunities for area of interest.
- Calculate communication intervals between a satellite and GIS features.
- Generate custom reports detailing exact times and durations of when selected GIS features can be "seen" by satellites or sensors.
- Compare different platforms based on various criteria.
