Crowdsourcing increases the value of satellite data by supplying human resources for processing them and providing complementary data. This article reviews previous research to clarify the stakeholders and their relationships in business ecosystems where satellite data and crowdsourcing are combined for new products and services. Crowdsourcing has three functions in satellite data businesses: analyzing, monitoring, and collecting data. The functions of collecting and monitoring complementary ground data that are used with satellite data have become increasingly important in recent years. The conclusions indicate that the business ecosystems have evolved from being led by satellite data platforms to being coordinated by third parties.

众包通过提供人力资源来处理卫星数据并提供补充数据，从而增加了卫星数据的价值。本文回顾了先前的研究，以弄清利益相关者及其在商业生态系统中的关系，在商业生态系统中，卫星数据和众包相结合以提供新产品和服务。众包在卫星数据业务中具有三个功能：分析，监视和收集数据。近年来，与卫星数据一起使用的收集和监视补充地面数据的功能变得越来越重要。结论表明，商业生态系统已经从以卫星数据平台为主导发展到由第三方进行协调。
