Satellites Spotting Ships
Does the commercial tasking feed into the open dataset? Or is it more a case of once the satellite is up, might as well keep it busy?
Just wondering since the distribution of locations shown in the blog post seems particular.

It's cherry-picked, but it's a combination of commercial tasking and discretionary tasking. There isn't much to read into in terms of the distribution, it's just one person's best guess at where there's likely to be a lot of diverse types of ships.
