Can I request an image acquired on a precise day and time?

No. You can ask for the image to be acquired within a certain window. But although QuickBird can be oriented to acquire a target, and the coverage is world-wide, the satellite is in a fixed sun-synchronous orbit, travelling at approximately 7 km/second, and can only acquire areas as they come into view (approximately once every 3-4 days). The sun-synchronous orbit means that the satellite only acquires images at the same local time, approximately 10:30 AM.
