IKONOS -
Launched in 1999 by Space Imaging, IKONOS collects 0.82-meter panchromatic and 3.2-meter multispectral data at a rate of over 2,000 square kilometers per minute. IKONOS orbits the Earth every 98 minutes at an altitude of approximately 680 kilometers or 423 miles. It travels a sun-synchronous orbit, passing a given longitude at 10:30 AM local time. IKONOS is operated out of Thornton, Colorado. IKONOS is a commercial earth observation satellite that collects high-resolution imagery at 1- and 4-meter resolution. ...
ORBVIEW-3 Launched in 2003 by ORBIMAGE, OrbView-3 acquires 1-meter panchromatic and 4-meter multispectral imagery in an 8-kilometer-wide swath. The satellite collects up to 210,000 square kilometers of imagery each day. It revisits each location on Earth in less than three days with the ability to collect data up to 50 degrees off nadir. Similar to IKONOS, this satellite passes a given longitude at 10:30 AM local time. OrbView-3 is operated out of Dulles, Virginia.
ORBVIEW-2 Launched in 1997 by ORBIMAGE, OrbView-2 collects color imagery of the Earth's entire land and ocean surfaces on a daily basis. Commercial fishing vessels use OrbView-2 data for detecting oceanographic conditions used to create fishing maps. The satellite also provides broad-area coverage in 2,800 kilometer-wide swaths, which are routinely used in naval operations, environmental monitoring, and global crop assessment applications. OrbView-2 carries NASA's SeaWiFS sensor. OrbView-2 is operated out of Dulles, Virginia. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an agency of the United States federal government, responsible for the nations public space program. ...
