The comment I replied to was talking about spy tech, I was pointing out that the photos were from a commercial satellite, whose specs are likely well known.
Hey, and you’re right about that. It’s what I get for commenting on stuff with 4am insomnia.
The photos are clearly credited to Maxar Technologies, which for some reason I know to be a satellite imaging company. (Yet I can’t remember my own zip code without thinking about it.)
This is from a commercial satellite though.
Are you trying to say the Google maps imagery is not commercial satellite data?

That’s correct. Google Maps imagery is not satellite data, it’s airplane photos.
