calculation which is plainly wrong, and should have been (3040 km * 7.5 km/s) (16 / (750 m)² + 5 / (375 m)²)
<egg|anbo|egg>
at which point we are at one megapixel per second, on ~15 bit pixels, which is consistent with the data rates
<egg|anbo|egg>
and they are scraping pixels off the edges of their scans when the next scan along the swath would overlap, so they are clearly data-rate limited, which I guess answers my question
<raptop>
hm
<egg|anbo|egg>
(and then obviously they pack in a sensor with a matching resolution, but fundamentally if they had the data rate it’s not like they couldn’t use a denser sensor/sampling rate)

Well, DSN upgrade as a reason to launch new sats is now in the mission concepts

I wonder if I can get away with not modeling sensor density & FoV
