Any satellite, one request.
The optimal collection for any target, planned in seconds across every major commercial constellation, priced up front, and tasked from a single request.
You draw the area of interest, the engine chooses everything else.
As the area of interest grows past a single scene, the engine re-plans it as a mosaic of passes, planned and priced as one collect. And as the priority shifts between cheapest, balanced, fastest, and sharpest, it re-ranks every feasible option and always tasks the best one.
Draw the requirement, not the order. A polygon bigger than one scene splits into cells, and each pass claims only what its swath can honestly cover. The whole mosaic is planned and priced as one collect.
State the mission, not the vendor. Pick what matters and every feasible collect is rescored on price, speed, and sharpness. The stack re-ranks itself, and the winner explains the trade.
Weather changes the satellite, not the mission.
As a cloud front sweeps the 48-hour window, the optical passes inside it become unusable and the optimizer re-routes the collect to radar, which sees through weather. The mission still lands; only the satellite changes.
Weather risk, engineered out. When a front moves in, the plan moves with it: the engine re-times, re-prices, and re-routes the collect before the clouds arrive. The shot still lands, and the reasoning comes in writing.
Marketplaces make you choose. Zerosat chooses for you.
Imagery marketplaces put a catalog in front of you and leave the hard part, which vendor, which satellite, which window, to a human. Zerosat is the layer above: an optimizer that makes that call automatically and shows its work.
| Imagery marketplace | Zerosat | |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor selection | Human browses and picks | Optimized automatically |
| Orbital access | Revisit brochure numbers | Per pass SGP4 prediction |
| Duplicate tasking | You pay twice | Deduplicated against recent and scheduled collections |
| Recurring coverage | You remember to reorder | Standing monitors replan with fresh orbits and forecasts |
| Reasoning | None | Plain language rationale on every decision |
Private by design
Tasking reveals what you care about, where, and when. Zerosat is built so that information stays with you.
Humans approve every order
The optimizer proposes; a person approves, with the full cost in front of them.
Your credentials stay yours
Vendor API keys live in your deployment and are never transmitted to us or to any third party.
A full audit trail
Every request, decision, rationale, and approval is recorded.
No tracking, anywhere

Questions, answered plainly
How is Zerosat different from an imagery marketplace?
A marketplace shows you a catalog and leaves the choosing to you. Zerosat is an optimizer: it predicts real satellite access, prices options across vendors, folds in weather, and recommends one collection with a written rationale. The catalog is an input, not the product.
Are the prices real?
Where a vendor exposes live pricing, Zerosat quotes it in real time. Where one does not, the estimate is clearly labeled as modeled. Nothing is presented as a market price unless it came from the vendor.
Which satellites and sensors are covered?
Twenty-five plus tasking collections across the major commercial constellations: optical down to 0.30 m class and radar down to 0.25 m class, with thermal and hyperspectral modalities in active development.
Will Zerosat spend money on its own?
No. The engine plans and prices autonomously, but every order sits behind an approval step. A human sees the full cost and rationale and says yes or no.
What happens when clouds threaten an optical collection?
The forecast becomes a usability probability on every option. When optical odds drop below your floor, radar satellites that see through weather compete on equal footing and typically win.
Does it fit into an existing pipeline?
Yes. Everything the optimizer does is exposed through a REST API and a CLI, so planning, cross cueing, and approvals can run inside your own tooling. The web console is just one client of the same API.
