Looking at These Events From Orbit
Not every gathering leaves something a satellite could see. Each event on the Watchfloor carries a marker for whether it could be seen from orbit, so you can tell which ones are worth opening imagery for. See the Sentinel-1 SAR viewer and the Sentinel-2 viewer, or read how the Watchfloor works.
