South Korea Releases Details of North Korea Coastal Submarine - GeoEye Imagery Collection Featured in Blog Post

Last month, South Korea released details about a new class of North Korean (NK) coastal submarine which has been reported in operation for the last several years. Joseph S Bermuduz Jr in April's Jane's Defense Weekly speculates the designation of this submarine as the SANG-O II (or K-300) class as it resembles the original SANG-O but with an additional 5 meters in length. It has been suggested the extra length may add to the capacity of the SANG-O by providing torpedo tubes, an increased patrol range as well as a larger crew complement...


...For those creating imagery signature databases, the only imagery available for the SANG-O II in Google Earth was captured by GeoEye on 6 Oct 2010 at Ch'aho-rodongjagu naval base. The following shows a breakout of that image along with surrounding submarines.

FILE - This March 12, 2011 file photo provided by GeoEye shows the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex in Okuma, Fukushima Prefecture, a day after an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan's east coast. Tokyo Electric Power Co., which runs the hobbled Fukushima plant, did not factor geologic evidence of the giant Jogan tsunami of 869 A.D. into its preparedness. When a tsunami hit in March 2011, it unleashed waves up to 42 feet (14 meters) high, swamping the backup generators needed for cooling. The same region was also walloped twice before, once around 140 B.C. and again sometime between 600 B.C. and 900 B.C., scientific studies revealed. (AP Photo/GeoEye, File)

AP IMPACT: Asia Nuclear Reactors Face Tsunami Risk - GeoEye is Elevating Insight

JAKARTA, Indonesia—The skeleton of what will soon be one of the world's biggest nuclear plants is slowly taking shape along China's southeastern coast—right on the doorstep of Hong Kong's bustling metropolis. Three other facilities nearby are up and running or under construction.


Like Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi plant they lie within a few hundred miles of the type of fault known to unleash the largest tsunami-spawning earthquakes.

The Search for the Hidden Tomb of Genghis Khan - Albert Lin Video Added to GeoEye Website

In the spring of 2008, University of California San Diego (UCSD) research associate Albert Yu-Min Lin initiated a research project using a newly formulated, non-invasive scientific approach to search for the tomb of the legendary Mongolian leader Genghis Khan. Dr. Lin's extensive training in non-invasive materials imaging, along with his expertise in Mongolian customs and history, and his political position, qualify him as the ideal principal investigator of this monumental three-year project which is currently underway in the "Forbidden Zone" of Northeastern Mongolia. The GeoEye Foundation awarded Dr. Lin's team a grant of archival, high-resolution IKONOS satellite data which Dr. Lin's team will use for defining the landscape and creating a baseline of information...

Internet Mapping - GeoEye Imagery Collection Showcased

Access to geospatial data over the Internet has grown rapidly over the last five years. This has spawned a cottage industry of geospatial mash-ups targeted at niche markets. Geospatial mashup developers create applications from scratch that display various sources of geospatial data accessible over the internet. The developers aggregate the data and perform analysis and present the information in an easy-to-digest format targeted at specific end users. Typically these mashups leverage API's and are viewed in Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth and Yahoo! Maps. These applications allow the end user to publish their data to various destinations, including local networks or web servers.


GeoEye imagery products provide highly accurate base maps that geospatial mashup developers can use to aggregate with other data and perform analysis on.

What Can You Really See From Space? - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured in Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Blog Post

Most people know that satellites in orbit do useful things such as collect images of the Earth's surface. At the National Air and Space Museum I use satellite images in my job to understand changes in the Earth's land surface. Today millions of people are acquainted with satellite imagery on internet map services. People sometimes ask me if it's possible to see even more detail from space. In this post I'll explore what is really visible in different types of satellite data.


The images on internet map servers are provided by a recent generation of satellites that collect detailed images, including GeoEye's satellites. Objects smaller than automobiles are visible in some of these images. In the past, only military and reconnaissance satellite were capable of this kind of detail...

Researchers Help Map Tsunami and Earthquake Damage in Japan - GeoEye Information Services Featured in Blog Post

ScienceDaily (Mar. 24, 2011) — Japan needs maps. Not just any kind -- detailed informational maps georegistered with latitude and longitude and annotated with simple, self-evident details: this bridge is out, this port is damaged, this farm field is scoured; this one is verdant.


Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology are processing satellite imagery of regions in Japan affected by the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that devastated sections of the country's east coast on March 11. The U.S. Geological Survey, a member of the International Charter "Space and Major Disasters," organized the volunteer effort involving about 10 organizations, including Harvard University, George Mason University, Penn State and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.


The RIT team, led by McKeown and Messinger, includes graduate students Sanjit Maitra and Weihua "Wayne" Sun in the Center for Imaging Science and staff members Steve Cavilia, Chris DiAngelis, Jason Faulring and Nina Raqueno. They created the maps using imagery from... GeoEye-1, a high-resolution commercial satellite operated by GeoEye Inc...

Response To Japan's Disaster Relief Efforts - GeoEye Production Services Featured in Article

GeoEye has been supporting the relief efforts by providing its satellite imagery of the devastation in northern Japan to relief agencies, governments and the media. On March 11, 2011, GeoEye's order management team began directing the high-resolution satellites to collect color imagery over the Oshika Peninsula. IKONOS captured the first post-earthquake image at 10:36 a.m. local time. As of March 21, GeoEye had provided 29,000 square kilometers of imagery to Google.


Emergency first responders and the geospatial community are using their imagery as a base map to produce multiple-layer relief maps to assist with damage assessment, route planning and other crucial aspects of this relief effort. Elite search-and-rescue teams that have flown to Japan from around the world to assist in this enormous relief effort are using their imagery to help locate the missing.
