GeoEye-1 & IKONOS Satellite Data
GeoEye is a leading source of geospatial information and insight for decision makers and analysts, who need a clear understanding of our changing world to protect lives, manage risk and optimize resources. Widely recognized as a pioneer in high-resolution satellite imagery, GeoEye has evolved into a complete provider of geospatial intelligence solutions. GeoEye's ability to collect, process and analyze massive amounts of geospatial data allows us to quickly see precise changes on the ground and anticipate where events may occur. They own and operate two color Earth-imaging satellites, GeoEye-1 and IKONOS, and three airplanes with advanced high-resolution imagery collection capabilities. GeoEye-1 is the world's highest resolution and most accurate commercial Earth-imaging satellite. GeoEye's Imagery Sources collect vast amounts of high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery from around the globe each day. This imagery is processed and used in a multitude of applications such as mapping, disaster response, infrastructure management, and environmental monitoring. Presented in this article is the Satellite Imagery of the Kailash Mansarovar Area - several images have been recorded since 2008 under direction of the Ashtapad Research International Foundation and guidance of team members – Dr. P.S. Thakker, Dr. Navin Juyal and Mr. Shashikant Sharma. Many attempts of image collection have resulted in cloud covered or snow covered images of the Kailash Mansarovar region. We did have some cloud free imagery. This data is useful for studying the probable sites of Ashtapad, Mt. Nandi region, sites of Gyangdrag Gompa and Dharma King Norsang (DKN) and the surrounding area. Satellite information GeoEye-1 GeoEye again made history with the Sept. 6, 2008 launch of GeoEye-1 - the
world's highest resolution commercial earth-imaging satellite.
GeoEye-1 is equipped with the most sophisticated technology ever used in GeoEye-1 a commercial satellite system. It offers unprecedented spatial resolution by
simultaneously acquiring 0.41-meter panchromatic and 1.65-meter multispectral IKONOS
imagery. GeoEye first made history with the IKONOS satellite launch on Sept. 24, 1999. IKONOS, derived from the Greek word for image, is the world's first
commercial satellite able to collect black-and-white (panchromatic) images with IKONOS
82-centimeter resolution and multispectral imagery with 4-meter resolution.
