This is significantly more detail than has ever been available in commercial satellite imagery before. Customers can define their specific areas of interest of any location on the Earth's surface, and receive products within days of image collection.

"There is a wealth of applications for our Carterra Geo products - from urban and rural planning, to use as image backdrops for updating Geographic Information System (GIS) databases, to agriculture productivity monitoring and rapid emergency response," said Brian Soliday, vice president of North American sales and marketing for Space Imaging.

"Customers can order images of essentially any geographic location in the world. If we have the image in our archive, we'll ship it within three days. Otherwise, we'll collect the image and deliver it three days after collection. Our only limitation is cloud cover," added Soliday.

Carterra Geo products are available in one-meter resolution black-and-white (panchromatic) and four-meter resolution color (multispectral) imagery. The color imagery is comprised of four bands: blue, green, red and near-infrared.

These are geometrically referenced products that have been corrected to a datum and map projection. The correction process removes image distortions and re-samples the imagery to a uniform ground sample distance and a specified map projection. Carterra Geo products are ideally suited for applications where quick delivery is crucial.

Carterra Geo products are available as 11-bit black-and-white and 11-bit color. 11-bit imagery corresponds to 2048 shades of gray per pixel, compared to 256 shades of gray per pixel in 8-bit traditional aerial imagery. 11 bit data gives customers a richer dynamic range, providing an enhanced ability to distinguish detail in shadows and brightly lit areas.

Pricing for Carterra Geo Products Carterra Geo products are sold by the square kilometer according to customer requirements. Prices range from $12/sq.km - $17/sq.km for North America (with a minimum order of $1000) or $29/sq.km - $44/sq.km for regions outside of North America (with a minimum order of $2000). Carterra Geo products are delivered in TIFF and GeoTIFF formats.

Satellite Launch To Boost DTH In India
Calcutta, India (SPX) Dec 28, 2005
The successful launch Thursday of India's heaviest satellite from spaceport of Kourou in French Guyana may have boosted the country's space research efforts to yet another level, but it has also lifted the spirits of at least three Direct-To-Home televisions broadcasters, one of which has been waiting for years to launch its services in India.
