DigitalGlobe To Sell 61cm Resolution Satellite Photos

Posted by chrisd on from the bird's-eye-view dept.

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.

    I wouldn't be too concerned about privacy, we can just submit a slashdot story about them each time they get on your case. Of course it would have to be accepted first.

    I see that the parent has been modded offtopic. I'd have to disagree, since this discussion is about satellite imagry, and aerial survelliance is a big factor in the drug war.

    Second off, don't waste time moderating subthreads, if people aren't interested in a subthread, they just won't be clicking on the parent, or following it down (depending on viewmode).

    So go ahead, mod this one offtopic too, I've got 50 more karma to burn.
