“By developing the first high-definition streaming video platform of Earth, UrtheCast plans to change the way we view the world.”According to the UrtheCast, it providing the launch installation and maintenance of the cameras. Basically, UrtheCast will benefit from Earth observation data sales, media content sales, application platform sales, as well as web advertising
It is used to record live video directly from space has never been done before. Consumers are able to see the most part of the world by live video and high-resolution pictures through these two cameras from the space.
UrtheCast is approximately getting totally 100-120 million dollars per year from the variety of aspects. And it is a market filled with opportunities since the demand for UrtheCast getting higher. The main problem they are facing is that they have to raise enough money by persuading investors to put money on them. But they cannot make any money until 2013, which will definitely make their life become very tough. It’s going to be like “making money or being bankrupt” next year. How are they going to raise enough funds? This is the biggest problem they have to deal with before they go to “strike gold”.
