Ikonos

The launch of Ikonos on September 24th 1999 was not just the launch of the first commercial high-resolution satellite, but also the launch of a new era in the world of remote sensing.

Panchromatic

The 1-meter resolution of the panchromatic data enables users to distinguish ground features as small as one meter. The accuracy and interpretability of the imagery makes it ideal for mapping and analysis.

Multispectral

Ikonos also collects 4-meter multispectral data, excellent for a variety of analysis applications ranging from base mapping, map revision, and GIS update to planning, site selection and development and environmental monitoring.

Pan-Sharpening

European Space Imaging also performs a technique called "Pan-Sharpening" which combines the spatial content of the 1-meter panchromatic data with the spectral content of the 4-meter multispectral data.
