- Live imagery. Fixed weather spacecraft refresh the whole region every 10–15 minutes, day and night in infrared. Daily passes give sharper natural colour once per day; step back up to 30 days, play a 7-day time-lapse or swipe two dates side by side.
- Spacecraft tracking. Every Earth-imaging, weather and crewed spacecraft is positioned from its published orbit every two seconds. Select one to see its ground track, coverage circle, altitude, speed and next pass over your watch site.
- Limits. Free live imagery is regional scale (hundreds of metres to kilometres per pixel): it shows weather, dust, smoke, fires and night lights, not individual ships or vehicles. The sharp base view is a dated composite for layout only. Passes show when a spacecraft can image a site, not that it did.
Sovereign Observatory
Access for governments, sovereign funds, family offices and research institutions. Eight instruments — Command, Country Dossier, Shock Propagation, Narrative Radar, Inter-Capital comparison, Ports & Chokepoints, the Renewable Energy Atlas and the Sovereign Memo — read one country state and one scenario at once. Every figure traces to a published register, measured data, documented geography or attributed reporting.
- Military capacity (0-100)
- Where the country sits in a published annual ranking of armed-forces strength (personnel, aircraft, armour, naval fleet, logistics), rescaled among Arab states: 100 = strongest in the region, 0 = weakest. Use it to gauge security weight and defence-market size.
- Media industry base (0-100)
- Documented production infrastructure: film/TV sound stages, media free zones and headquarters of pan-Arab news networks, equally weighted and scaled so the regional leader = 100. Blank means no documented facilities, not zero activity. Use it to choose production, broadcast and partnership locations.
