Geospatial Registration Accuracy
GeoEye-1 offers imagery with an
absolute geospatial location accuracy of 3 meters
without ground control points on flat terrain.
This means that GeoEye-1 customers can map features to
this level of accuracy for unprecedented low
prices.
Products
We offer: geo-referenced imagery,
ortho-rectified imagery, stereo imagery, large-area
tiled mosaics, and image-derived products such as DEMs
and thematic feature layers.
Agility
GeoEye-1's sensors can rotate
to allow either side-to-side swath doubling of the
system's 15.2 kilometer swath or stereo imaging of the
same target from a single orbital pass to derive Digital
Elevation Models (DEMs) and topographic contours.
Frequency
GeoEye-1 travels on a polar sun
synchronous orbit that enables a three day to revisit
time with targets acquired in the proximity of 10:30
a.m. local time. It completes 12 to 13 orbits per
day from an altitude of 684 kilometers (425 miles) with
an orbital velocity of about 7.5 km/sec or (16,800
mi/hr).
Volume
With an imaging swath of 15.2
km, GeoEye-1 can acquire up to 700,000 sqkm of
panchromatic imagery and 350,000 sqkm of multi-spectral
per day.
