Decisions, argued through

The procurement choices governments weigh before committing to space: buy imagery or own the satellite, optical or SAR, one spacecraft or a constellation, hosted or dedicated, leased capacity or a sovereign network. Each argued through to a verdict.

Buy satellite imagery, or own the satellite? — The arithmetic changed. The queue did not.
Optical or SAR? — One reads a scene. The other works the night shift.
One satellite, or a constellation? — Revisit is a constellation property. So is resilience.
A dedicated satellite, or a hosted payload? — Someone else's bus is someone else's orbit.
Lease satellite capacity, or own the network? — Terms of service are not treaties.
