This gives EUSI more freedom than just a regular distributor, such as being able to set its own license terms and pricing. • Launch of Ikonos-2: The spacecraft was launched successfully on Sept. 24, 1999 from VAFB, CA aboard an Athena 2 launcher of Lockheed Martin. You currently do not have any folders to save your paper to! They were subsequently refined by a series of on-orbit geometric calibrations. With Ikonos-2, a new era of 1 m spatial resolution imagery began for spaceborne instruments in the field of civil Earth observation. The difference between the position measured in the image and predicted by the RPC camera model is plotted in Figure - Ikonos-2 radiometric stability: Standard calibration stars have been imaged each year (with the exception of 2010) and used to measure degradation in detector response. The angular slew rate is sufficient to perform both wide-area monoscopic and same-pass stereo collections.
without the use of ground control points. Ikonos-2 is a 3-axis stabilized spacecraft, using the LM900 satellite bus system (also referred to as Block-1). This technique permits, for instance, the full-swath imaging of a particular feature of interest on the Earth's surface, such as a coastline, which traverses under some angle through the in-track direction.
Orbit: Sun-synchronous near-polar circular orbit, altitude = 681-709 km, inclination = 98.1º, period = 98 min, repeat cycle = 14 days (max), revisit cycle = 1-3 days (for observations at 40º latitude or higher). This functionality is provided solely for your convenience and is in no way intended to replace human translation. Focus adjustments have not been needed since 2006, consistent with an asymptotic leveling-off of telescope growth (Ref. The instrument features a Cassegrain-type telescope with a 70 cm diameter primary mirror, a 10 m focal length (folded optics design). Credits: Geoeye. CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS The focus of the evaluation of Geo panchromatic imagery has been upon 3D positioning accuracy, radiometric quality and attributes of the image data for building feature extraction. These data are being used to test and demonstrate various aspects for the future services of the Copernicus satellite series. Due to, the higher orbit altitude, local reception of the imagery, bi-directional scanning and the high agility of the satellite, is the IKONOS satellite capable to collect the imagery relative quickly. We look at two examples using imagery from the IKONOS satellite for GIS applications, building large image mosaics and automated road vector updating. The location knowledge accuracy of the imagery is 2 m horizontal (relative) i.e.
