What do these Satellite Images show?
Click on them to find out! Astonishing! Images taken by a QuickBird satellite, owned by DigitalGlobe. DigitalGlobe is the main supplier of satellite imagery, perhaps the exclusive supplier 1 for Google Earth (We will discuss the concentration of satellite media and infrastructure some other day!). The satellite captures
0.61-meter-resolution panchromatic imagery, and 2.4-meter multi-spectral imagery. It produces 11 x 11-km snapshots to 11 x 225-km strip maps. In addition to green, red and near-infrared wavelengths, the multi-spectral image sensor can also process a blue channel, enabling true color imaging from space. (ITT)
