NEW LOOK: North Korea's Launch Pad - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured in CNN Article

A new satellite image of the launch pad expected to be used by North Korea next month shows no sign yet of any launch activity.


Satellite imagery company GeoEye provided CNN a new image of the site from where North Korea's controversial rocket launch will take place.


The image of the Tongch'ang-dong facility was taken on March 20 by GeoEye. It shows no missile or launch vehicle visible, according to an analysis by GlobalSecurity.org's Tim Brown.


"Since we are about three weeks away, and based on previous DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) missile launch preparations, I would not expect to see any noticeable activity at the site until about one week prior to the launch," Brown told Security Clearance...

Geospatial Intelligence Goes From Land to Sea - GeoEye Predictive Analytics Featured in Aviation Week Article

Maps are clearly a vital tool for any military commander, but the days when a two-dimensional, printed representation of an area will suffice have long since passed. Dynamic mapping of the battlespace is not new, but 21st century technologies are revolutionizing the collection, dissemination and analysis of tactical intelligence...


...The benefits of geoint are also apparent to homeland security and police forces. GeoEye of McLean, Va., a supplier of satellite imagery, acquired the predictive analysis company Spadac in 2010 and now supplies more than 40 customers with predictive geospatial intelligence. The software analyzes geo-tagged data to discover relationships between events and features in the physical and human environment; a proprietary algorithm then predicts future occurrences. The company has demonstrated prediction of phenomena as varied as burglaries and the arrival of invasive species.

Updated Google Maps Satellite Images Show Japan One Year After the Earthquake - GeoEye High Resolution Imagery Featured in Article

It was a year ago today that a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami destroyed a large swath of the northeastern coast of Japan. The area has come a long way over the past year — according to the New York Times almost all roads have been repaired — and now with updated Google Maps imagery we can get a look for ourselves to see how the recovery efforts are coming along. The images, which come from GeoEye and were taken within the past month or so, are available now in Google Maps and Google Earth. The company has offered two comparison shots with images of Shiogama Port and Minami Sanriku Town in Miyagi (reproduced above and below, respectively), but if you want to compare for yourself, go here for satellite images taken in March of last year.

New Funding for Bycatch Projects - GeoEye SeaStar Fisheries Information Service Featured in Article

The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) has announced new contributions from three organisations that will support at-sea science projects with the goal of reducing bycatch in tuna fisheries.


The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council (WPRFMC) donated $100,000 to fund the purchase of new equipment including acoustic tags, tracking equipment, survival tags, GPS sonar buoys, and other high-tech equipment for at-sea research in the Western and Central Pacific region.


Marine Instruments, S.A., a Spanish electronic company specialising in tracking systems for the marine environment and fishing sector, along with American geospatial technology developer, GeoEye, have each donated several M3i buoys, which feature built in echo-sounders that can be used for tracking and monitoring FADs. GeoEye has also donated a subscription to its SeaStar Fisheries Information Service, providing daily oceanographic charts and weather forecasting for ISSF-sponsored research.


"The generous contributions we have received from the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council, Marine Instruments and GeoEye will give research scientists access to equipment that we believe will lead to a new standard of best fishing practices, and ultimately better conservation of our ocean's resources" said ISSF president Susan Jackson...

Bill Schuster's Three Pieces Of Advice To His Kids: "Be Honest With Yourself"

WashingtonExec asked the simple question to top area executives:


"If you could give your kids only three pieces of advice, what would they be?"


Today's insight is from Bill Schuster, COO of GeoEye.


1. Maintain your integrity no matter what. Someone once said that integrity is defined by what you would or would not do even if there was no chance of being caught/found out.


2. Be honest with yourself. Don't judge things by what you believe is expected of you, but instead by how you truly feel. Be true to your values.


3. Treat all people fairly, honestly and with dignity. Listen to what they are saying as it has importance.
