"A feature of the programme is that for a cost of £25,000, customers can
lease the satellite for a period of a week and control its schedule of
imaging operations."

Also:

"In addition to actively pursuing further experiments for the MOD and BNSC,
the consortium is also seeking new applications to which the technology can
be applied."

i.e. it's as much a research project as a commercial operation... so maybe
your idea of "let's just ask them" could work.

cheers
Richard
