Imaging is the leader in the business of
providing information products derived from imagery.
Since its founding in late 1994, Denver, Colorado-based Space Imaging has quickly become a world leader in digital Earth information to better map, measure, monitor, and manage the world we live in – from our national assets to global crop production. Space Imaging’s already diverse collection of resources will grow with the launch of IKONOS, the world’s first one-meter resolution, commercial imaging satellite, in 1999. The addition of the IKONOS satellite to Space Imaging’s portfolio will enable the company to produce more economical information products with delivery timelines that far exceed the standards in the marketplace.
Space Imaging markets its wide-ranging image products under the company’s CARTERRA™ brand name. CARTERRA products provide a global resource for governments, business leaders and private citizens, producing a wealth of information about the Earth’s ever-changing cultural and natural features. Access to this growing collection of visual information will allow for a deeper understanding of the environment, international security, and economic change.
Due to the accurate, up-to-date nature of CARTERRA products, farmers can precisely monitor the health of crops and estimate yields, scientists can look at environmentally sensitive areas and predict trends, government officials can monitor and plan enlightened land use policies, city planners can further the development of new housing communities, and insurance companies can measure and map property damage after natural disasters. With the map-level detail many CARTERRA products offer, Space Imaging can also provide definitive and rapid solutions to help planners determine land ownership in nations moving towards private ownership. Real estate brokers might use the imagery to show home buyers potential properties thousands of miles away, and film producers might use it for creating backdrops for the big-screen. What makes CARTERRA products so unique is that they are complementary in nature and can help respond to a variety of business and consumer needs. The potential uses for Earth imagery and information products are so vast that nobody can predict their ultimate value as we progress into the 21st Century.
