Don’t such satellites have a major flaw, that they revolve? Considering that earth is spherical, those satellites can only monitor some half of the earth each moment, given their sensors have such high FOV.
I’m not agreeing with their dumb point, but just pointing out: this satellite works on radar. I’m genuinely concerned how many people seem to be commenting without reading the article.

How is that a flaw? It just sounds like a design consideration…
Yes that’s how one satellite can image a lot of area.
Do you expect the satellite to see the whole earth?
You know it’s night for like half of it, yea?
What are you talking about? There’s only one side. /s
