Landsat 7 has an average return period of 16 days. Satellite imagery is sometimes supplemented with aerial photography , which has higher resolution, but is more expensive per square meter. Satellite imagery can be combined with vector or raster data in a GIS provided that the imagery has been spatially rectified so that it will properly align with other data sets. GeoEye's GeoEye-1 satellite was launched on September 6, It collects multispectral or color imagery at 1.

DigitalGlobe's WorldView-2 satellite provides high resolution commercial satellite imagery with 0.

Similarly DigitalGlobe's QuickBird satellite provides 0. DigitalGlobe's WorldView-3 satellite provides high resolution commercial satellite imagery with 0. WVIII also carries a short wave infrared sensor and an atmospheric sensor [8].

The 3 SPOT satellites in orbit Spot 2, 4 and 5 provide images with a large choice of resolutions — from 2. Spot Image is also the exclusive distributor of data from the high resolution Pleiades satellites with a resolution of 0. The launches occurred in and , respectively. The company also offers infrastructures for receiving and processing, as well as added value options.

ASTER data is used to create detailed maps of land surface temperature, reflectance, and elevation. The goal of NASA Earth Science is to develop a scientific understanding of the Earth as an integrated system, its response to change, and to better predict variability and trends in climate, weather, and natural hazards.

BlackBridge , previously known as RapidEye , operates a constellation of five satellites, launched in August , [10] the RapidEye constellation contains identical multispectral sensors which are equally calibrated. RapidEye satellite imagery is especially suited for agricultural, environmental, cartographic and disaster management applications.

The company not only offers their imagery, but consults their customers to create services and solutions based on analysis of this imagery. In the commercial high-resolution satellite market, EROS is the smallest very high resolution satellite; it is very agile and thus enables very high performances. EROS satellites imagery applications are primarily for intelligence, homeland security and national development purposes but also employed in a wide range of civilian applications, including: EROS A — a high resolution satellite with 1.

The Meteosat -2 geostationary weather satellite began operationally to supply imagery data on 16 August Eumetsat has operated the Meteosats since Because the total area of the land on Earth is so large and because resolution is relatively high, satellite databases are huge and image processing creating useful images from the raw data is time-consuming. For such reasons, publicly available satellite image datasets are typically processed for visual or scientific commercial use by third parties. Commercial satellite companies do not place their imagery into the public domain and do not sell their imagery; instead, one must be licensed to use their imagery.

Thus, the ability to legally make derivative products from commercial satellite imagery is minimized. Privacy concerns have been brought up by some who wish not to have their property shown from above. Google Maps responds to such concerns in their FAQ with the following statement: The images that Google Maps displays are no different from what can be seen by anyone who flies over or drives by a specific geographic location.
