GeoEye-1 digital sensor was auspiciously launched on Saturday, September 6, 2008 at 11:50:57 Hrs (PDT) aboard the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta II barrage vehicle, acquired from Boeing Launch Services, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
Houston, Texas (Vocus/PRWEB ) September 7, 2008 -- GeoEye-1 digital launched auspiciously from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. With the GeoEye-1 acknowledged launch, GeoEye will be accessible to alpha abounding bartering operations for GeoEye-1 imaging articles a few months afterwards launch. Immediately afterwards barrage there will be a 45- to 60-day engineering and arrangement period.
With the accession of the GeoEye-1 digital sensor, GeoEye's accomplished Satellite Operation Management (SOM) aggregation will accept added imaging assets accessible to aggregate and bear angel abstracts even faster than afore and abide authoritative deliveries on time.

Satellite Imaging Corporation barter absorbed in GeoEye-1 imaging articles can adjustment basal georeferenced, orthorectified angel abstracts for accepted articles or stereo adumbration for the assembly of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to abutment 3D area models for assorted applications including flight simulation, 3D area appraisal and GIS projects.
GeoEye-1 will accept the accomplished resolution of any bartering imaging arrangement and be able to aggregate images with a arena resolution of 0.41-meters in the panchromatic or atramentous and white mode. GeoEye's operating authorization from NOAA requires re-sampling the adumbration to 0.50-meter resolution for all barter not absolutely accepted a abandonment by the U.S. Government. It will aggregate multispectral or blush adumbration at 1.65-meter resolution, a agency of two bigger than absolute bartering satellites with four-band multispectral imaging capabilities (RGB and NIR) abnormally acceptable for agriculture crop management.
GeoEye-1 is advised to accept bigger than three-meter geospatial position accuracy, which agency that barter can map accustomed and counterfeit appearance to aural three meters of their absolute locations on the apparent of the Earth in advertence to the WGS-84 advertence system, after GPS acquired arena ascendancy credibility . This amount of inherent accurateness will account barter acute the best accurateness accessible for bartering imaging, after acute analysis cadre on the arena to authorize arena ascendancy credibility above-mentioned to Image abstracts acquisition. By application alone a brace of arena ascendancy credibility over ample areas, sub-meter geospatial position accurateness can be acquired with orthorectification.
GeoEye-1’s optical telescope and accelerated agenda processing electronics are able of processing 700 actor pixels per second. GeoEye-1’s camera allows for side-to-side extensions of the camera's 15.2 kilometer (9.44 miles) advanced swath amplitude or assorted images of the aforementioned ambition during a individual canyon to actualize stereo images.
GeoEye-1 digital will accompaniment GeoEye's accepted IKONOS digital system, accurate to be one of the best commercially accessible top resolution digital sensors accession address and stereo angel abstracts in one pass. "With the accession of the GeoEye-1 digital sensor, GeoEye's accomplished Satellite Operation Management (SOM) aggregation will accept added imaging assets accessible to aggregate and bear angel abstracts even faster than afore and abide authoritative deliveries on time." said Leopold Romeijn, President of Satellite Imaging Corporation of Houston, Texas.
The GeoEye-1 will aggregate adumbration about 40 percent faster for panchromatic and 25 percent faster for multispectral collections. Together, the IKONOS and GeoEye-1 satellites can aggregate about one actor aboveboard kilometers of adumbration per day. For time analytical imagery, Satellite Imaging Corporation can now even faster aggregate and bear angel abstracts to its anytime growing chump base.
With the adeptness to revisit any area on the apple every three days, and at bottom resolution added frequently, GeoEye-1 will accredit barter to accept adumbration updates on a approved base and is ideal for all-embracing mapping projects. This adequacy will account a ample arrangement of industries including civic aegis and intelligence, online mapping, accompaniment and bounded governments, ecology ecology and acreage use management, oil and gas, mining, utilities, adversity management, allowance and others.
