WorldView-2 alone is able to collect nearly 1 million km² every day, doubling the collection capacity of our constellation to nearly 2 million km² per day. And the combination of WorldView-2’s increased agility and high altitude enables it to typically revisit any place on earth in 1.1 days. When added to the satellite constellation, revisit time drops below one day and never exceeds two days, providing the most same-day passes of any commercial high resolution constellation.]]> webmaster Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:20:52 +0100 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/worldview-2 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/worldview-1 WorldView-1, DigitalGlobe's earth imaging satellite, completed a successful launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, U.S.A., at 11:35 Hrs Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) on September 18th, 2007. The Delta II rocket lifted off in good weather and the WorldView-1 satellite is "currently undergoing a calibration and check-out period," according to DigitalGlobe. The first panchromatic image data should become available before October 18th, 2007.]]> webmaster Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:17:32 +0100 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/worldview-1 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/rapideye RapidEye constellation of five satellites stands apart from other providers of satellite-based geospatial information in their unique ability to acquire high-resolution, large-area image data on a daily basis. The RapidEye system collects an unprecedented 4 million square kilometers of data per day at 6.5 meter nominal ground resolution. Each satellite measures less than one cubic meter and weighs 150 kg (bus + payload), and has been designed for at least a seven-year mission life. All five satellites are equipped with identical sensors and are located in the same orbital plane. RapidEye's satellites include the Red-Edge band, which is sensitive to changes in chlorophyll content.]]> webmaster Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:16:33 +0100 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/rapideye https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/quickbird BGIS 2000 sensor (PDF), QuickBird collects image data to 0.61m pixel resolution degree of detail. This satellite is an excellent source of environmental data useful for analyses of changes in land usage, agricultural and forest climates. QuickBird's imaging capabilities can be applied to a host of industries, including Oil and Gas Exploration & Production (E&P), Engineering and Construction and environmental studies]]> webmaster Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:13:39 +0100 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/quickbird https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/pleiades-1 Pleiades-1 satellite is the first very high-resolution satellite from SPOT. The satellite is capable of providing orthorectified color data at 0.5-meter resolution (roughly comparable to GeoEye-1) and revisiting any point on Earth as it covers a total of 1 million square kilometers (approximately 386,102 square miles) daily. Perhaps most importantly, Pleiades-1 is capable of acquiring high-resolution stereo imagery in just one pass, and can accommodate large areas (up to 1,000 km x 1,000 km).]]> webmaster Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:10:58 +0100 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/pleiades-1 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/landsat-7 webmaster Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:10:12 +0100 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/landsat-7 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/ikonos The IKONOS Satellite is a high-resolution satellite operated by GeoEye. Its capabilities include capturing a 3.2m multispectral, Near-Infrared (NIR)/0.82m panchromatic resolution at nadir. Its applications include both urban and rural mapping of natural resources and of natural disasters, tax mapping, agriculture and forestry analysis, mining, engineering, construction, and change detection. It can yield relevant data for nearly all aspects of environmental study. IKONOS images have also been procured by SIC for use in the media and motion picture industries, providing aerial views and satellite photos for many areas around the world. Its high resolution data makes an integral contribution to homeland security, coastal monitoring and facilitates 3D Terrain analysis.]]> webmaster Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:05:17 +0100 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/ikonos https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/geoeye-2 GeoEye-2, is in a phased development process for an advanced, third-generation satellite capable of discerning objects on the Earth's surface as small as 0.25-meter (9.75 inch) in size. The company expects to contract with a satellite builder in 2008 and launch the satellite approximately three years after work begins under that contract.]]> webmaster Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:00:28 +0100 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/geoeye-2 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/cbers-2 CBERS-2 identical to CBERS-1 Program was born from a partnership between Brazil and China in the space technical scientific segment. CBERS-1 was launched successfully on October 21, 2003 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in China. The launch time was 11:16AM (Beijing local time), which corresponds to 1:16AM (Brasilia local time). Satellite images from CBERS-2 are used in important areas, as deforestation and fire control in the Amazon Region, water resources monitoring, urban growth, soil occupation, education and several other applications. One important application is the hydrological basin monitoring by the ANA and SIVAM platform networks, which provides Brazilian river and rain data.]]> webmaster Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:56:26 +0100 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/cbers-2 https://www.openfoundry.org/tw/resourcecatalog/GIS/Remote-Sensing/cartosat-1 CARTOSAT – 1 is the first Indian Remote Sensing Satellite capable of providing in-orbit stereo images.
