IKONOS
Launched in 1999, IKONOS moves over the ground at approximately seven kilometers per second, IKONOS collects 1-meter panchromatic and 4-meter multispectral data at a rate of over 2,000 square kilometers per minute. IKONOS orbits the Earth every 98 minutes at an altitude of approximately 680 kilometers or 423 miles. The satellite travels a sun-synchronous orbit, passing a given longitude at the same local time (10:30 A.M.) daily.
OrbView-2
Launched in 1997, OrbView-2 collects color imagery of the Earth’s entire land and ocean surfaces on a daily basis. Commercial fishing vessels use OrbView-2 data for detecting oceanographic conditions used to create fishing maps. The satellite also provides broad-area coverage in 2,800 km-wide swaths, which are routinely used in naval operations, environmental monitoring, and global crop assessment applications.
GeoEye-1
Slated for launch in 2008, GeoEye-1 will capture image detail up to 0.41-meters for panchromatic images, and 1.65-meters for multispectral images. GeoEye-1 will collect large areas of up to 700,000 sq. km. per day, or over 255 million sp. km. per year.
High resolution imagery from the OrbView-3 archive is available, including 1-meter panchromatic and 4-meter multispectral imagery for areas-of-interest worldwide. You can search for OrbView-3 imagery in our archive at ImageSearch.
