Orbital observation

Reading the state of a physical site from satellite imagery and sensing, on a cadence set by orbits rather than by disclosure.

Orbital observation is the use of optical, radar and thermal sensing from satellites to establish what is physically happening at a location: how far a construction site has progressed, whether a plant is running, how much is stacked in a yard, which berths are occupied. It is the only widely available source that does not depend on anyone choosing to publish.

That independence is what gives it weight in entity resolution. When a permit says one thing and a corporate statement says another, the slab either exists or it does not - so an orbital pass often decides between two records that would otherwise stay ambiguous.

Its limits are equally specific and should always be stated with the finding. Optical passes are defeated by cloud, revisit rates vary by latitude and constellation, radar sees through weather at the cost of interpretability, and no image can read intent - a building's existence says nothing about who has contracted for its output. An observation without its pass date is not evidence.
