N2 - The market for Earth Observation applications is expanding beyond mere government applications, to include commercial products and services that are attractive to the mass consumer market. To exploit the untapped potential of the mobile society, this paper investigates the feasibility of a system architecture to distribute high resolution images of the entire globe that are frequently updated and accessible to the mobile society. Such a system would revolutionise the way earth observation data is used by consumers and would pave the way for applications such as daily updates of navigation maps, connecting information in social media to the latest available satellite data or providing location-based services with the most up-to-date images.
