QNT42 Satellite · point-in-time

The physical state of energy infrastructure, measured from orbit.

Daily series for refineries, terminals and chokepoints from five thermal sensors, Sentinel-1 radar and night lights, plus an event log timestamped at satellite acquisition. Every row dated to when it became knowable.

One dataset, three layers

Measurements first. Interpretation last.

01 · Daily series

Every facility, every sensor, every day.

Fire radiative power inside the mapped perimeter against the facility's own baseline, radar backscatter, night lights, cloud cover at pass time — and an explicit flag when the sky was not clear.

02 · Event log

Dated at acquisition, never back-dated.

Each anomaly with the satellite acquisition time, when QNT42 knew it, its type and its public corroboration. Corrections are new versions, not edits.

03 · Interpreted state

A labelled model, never the headline.

Operating state, capacity offline and chokepoint flow, derived from the layers above by a versioned rule set.

Three commitments behind every dataset we publish.

01Truly point-in-timeEvery row is dated to when it became knowable. Corrections are versioned, never overwritten. Your backtest sees what you would have seen then.
02Public, audited researchDetection latency, misses and their causes, published in the Detection Audit — including when the result does not flatter us.
03Built for institutional reviewMethodology, data dictionary, revision log and a security and DORA pack, ready for your vendor due diligence.
