QuickBird
|
|
QuickBird from DigitalGlobe™ is the highest-resolution commercial remote sensing satellite now operating, offering imagery from 60 cm resolution. Launched October 18, 2001, QuickBird collects multi-spectral and panchromatic imagery concurrently, and Pansharpened products in natural or infrared colours are offered. Both strip and area mode imaging are supported. Strips up to 10 scenes in length (165 km) can be collected in a single pass. QuickBird provides the widest swath, largest on-board storage, and highest resolution of any current commercial satellite. QuickBird is designed to efficiently and accurately image large areas with industry-leading geolocational accuracy. |
