Felan said, “Photographic reconnaissance satellites work in low-Earth orbits and can orbit the earth in about 80 minutes.”
“During this process, they can continuously take pictures of the regions they pass through.”
“As I said just now, the higher the accuracy required, the heavier the task of shooting.”
“If you really want to achieve the accuracy of Google and other high-precision satellite maps,”
“It will take a long time to collect images,”
“and even more time to process them.”
“This is why most satellite images have a long update cycle.”
“This year, we can see last year’s satellite images on the Internet,”
“Which is considered fast in terms of timeliness.”
“It is estimated that only Google can achieve this timeliness,”
“and most of the materials used are fromSeveral years ago.”
Chris asked him, “Since the satellite is always orbiting the earth,”
“In theory, can it take pictures anywhere you want?”
“Yes.” Felan nodded and said, “In theory, this is true,”
“but because the earth is round, the best angle for satellite photography is vertical overhead photography,”
“so the coverage of each satellite is limited.”
“If you want to achieve global photography, you must have enough satellites to wrap up the entire earth like a ball of yarn.”
“This ensures that no matter where you want to shoot,”
“A satellite will pass over it within10sof minutes.”
“If there are few satellites, this cycle will be lengthened.”
Chris asked him, “How many satellites are needed to achieve the goal of being able to shoot anywhere inday?”
“If the technology is mature,to 5.”
Felan said, “Most of the mature private enterprises in the U.S now have this capability.”
“Some of the more advanced ones can even achieverevisits a day.”
“That is, if necessary, they can control the satellite to pass by the target pointtimes a day,”
“and take a picture everyhours.”
Chris asked him “How much is a company like this worth?”
“Can it be bought?”
Felan thought for a while
“If I remember correctly, it’s about 30 to 40 billion USD.”
Then, Felan said “but it’s really troublesome to buy such a company.”
“Most companies in the U.S are started by founders who raise funds bit by bit from angel investment.”
“When the market value reaches a couple billion USD,”
“There are at least dozens of shareholders behind them.”
“It is not easy to buy them, and it also involves the issue of delisting and privatization.”
“Although these companies are private enterprises,”
“They have Lordred some core technologies to a certain extent,”
“and the US government will not allow buy and sell at will.”
“If they really want to sell them,”
“Both the buyer and the seller must undergo strict review before it is possible.”
Chris asked him “That is to say,”
“If I give Musk enough money to buy his SpaceX, he will not sell it to me?”
Felan nodded and said “It is impossible to sell it to you completely,”
“Because his words are not final.”
“SpaceX has not yet been listed, but the estimated market value is more than 100 billion USD.”
“Although Musk is a major shareholder, there are still many complicated capital connections behind him,”
“and there are probably too many shareholders to count,”
“so he can only sell you a certain proportion of shares at most,”
“and you will probably only be a shareholder if you buy shares,”
“and you will have no control over the company’s business and secrets.”
“and for the US government, aerospace technology is definitely more important.”
“It is possible for you to find a way to buy an inconspicuous remote sensing satellite company,”
“but it is extremely difficult to buy SpaceX.”
Chris said “Compared to that,”
“Buying SpaceX does not mean much to me.”
“Buying a remote sensing satellite company as you mentioned is the most cost-effective.”
“After buying it, I will invest some money to increase the number of satellites.”
“It would be best if it can achieve revisiting once an hour.”
Felan said “If you can find a suitable white glove from the U.S,”
“This can still be achieved.”
“This white glove must 1st be 100Percent reliable.”
“2ndly, he has to be American,”
“and he must be white, not a minority, let alone an immigrant.”
“3rdly, he must have a certain social status,”
“and the Dept. of Homeland Security must be 100Percent confident in him.”
“In this way, there will be no background check when acquiring the company.”
“As long as the government does not intervene,”
“The shareholders behind the scenes can be handled with money.”
“If the normal valuation of this company is 4 billion USD,”
“6 billion or even 8 billion should be enough to make the shareholders compromise.”
“After the company is bought under the name of the white gloves,”
“The data will be directly synchronized to you.”
“If you have any specific needs,”
“Let the white gloves raise the needs of the team,”
“and the team only needs to do it.”
“White gloves…”
Chris thought about it.
The people he knew who had a certain social status in the U.S were the Ann family, the Raman family, and the Routhchild family.
The Ann family and the Raman family are both Springsen families,
Especially the Ann family, which has begun to invest heavily in Springs.
It is definitely not suitable for them to do such things.
The Raman family will also be more or less suspected because of their Springsen identity,
but the Routhchild family will never have to go through that kind of trouble.
Their social status and their influence in the US government are unmatched by anyone or any family.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became clear in his mind and smiled,
“As for the right white gloves, I actually have a good candidate.”
“It should be easy to let the 2nd person in the Routhchild family do this!”
