Search For Evi Nemeth Continues
oneiros27 writes "Although the initial search for Evi Nemeth (and some other people who didn't write Unix books) ended, family and friends of the missing crew are funding a private search effort for the crew. They've managed to get more images from DigitalGlobe of the drift area, but now need help looking through the pictures. If you've got some free time, you might be able to help save some lives." -

EO Satellite OrbView-3 Successfully Launched
Lord Satri writes "Orbview-3 today has joined the flock of Earth Observation satellites. OrbView-3 will deliver 1 m (panchromatic) and 4 m spatial resolution (4 multispectral bands). Amongts other EO high-resolution satellites of importance are QuickBird, Ikonos and Eros-1A." -
DigitalGlobe To Sell 61cm Resolution Satellite Photos
An Anonymous Coward writes: "Sample images from DigitalGlobe's QuickBird satellite are now available. This is the highest resolution commercial satellite with the ability to take panchromatic images at a resolution of 61cm." Space Imaging's best offering is a 1m panchromatic resolution image, so they have some competition it seems. -

Commercial Digital Imaging of the Earth
n7lyg writes "EarthWatch, Inc. is launching a new satellite which will provide 61-centimeter resolution B&w images and 2.5-meter color resolution. The QuickBird 2 will be placed in a sun-synchronous orbit by a Boeing Delta II rocket and provied the highest-resolution commercial images anywhaer by the end of this year. They currently provide reprocessed Landsat 7 images, along with special-order images (you specify the lat/long to provied). So, current price is $500 for a 1-degree tile, all taken from Landsat 7 images. No information on whether the prices for QuickBird images will be more or less expensive." -

QuickBird1 Is A Loss
daveg writes: "Earthwatch of Longmont CO has lost their second commercial high resolution imaging satellite. The first loss was EarlyBird1 in December 1997. EarlyBird1 went silent after 4 days, it was capable of 3m resolution. QuickBird1 was capable of 1m resolution from a Kodak sensor system. The launch from Russia's Plesetsk Cosmodome was first thought to have not achieved orbit but now appears to have reached orbit then disappeared from the visibility zone of Russian radio equipment and since has not responded to the signals sent by Russian ground stations. QuickBird1 rode on a converted ICBM design, first launched in 1967, with a record of 398 successful orbital flights out of 420 launches." -
