The cost of acquiring a satellite data was highest for the images from the GeoEye-1 satellite, at ** U.S. dollars per square kilometer of the image. Most of the satellite data have a minimum order quantities based on the company and the cost depends mostly on the spatial resolution of the satellite image. Most of the satellites are commercially owned and provide users with data as an end product based on the requirement. Processing smaller patches of the raw images obtained from a satellite to an end product are not profitable. Hence, there is a minimum order limit of ** to ** square kilometers based on the requested product.
