Marine Geospatial FAQs

Can I purchase new images acquired by IKONOS®?
Yes, you can order a new collection, which is routinely gathered within 60 days for most of the world. In emergency situations, such as a vessel in distress or aground on a reef, we can collect imagery within three days. In these circumstances, when the vessel is on the open ocean, no other tool can collect new imagery as quickly.

Can I acquire multi-spectral, natural color, or panchromatic imagery?
Yes, GeoEye can process IKONOS and GeoEye-1 satellite imagery for delivery in all of these combinations.

Can I extract three-dimensional information from IKONOS imagery for my facilities?
Yes, the satellite can collect a stereo pair of images in a single pass. This allows users to extract all of the terrain relief, including the height of each individual building, for your port, harbor, or area of interest.

Can GeoEye assist me in the production of Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs)?
Yes, our team has experience in mapping ports, harbors, and other marine facilities for government and commercial customers.

Can I use IKONOS and GeoEye-1 imagery in moving-map applications?
Yes, IKONOS and GeoEye-1 (2008) imagery products can be orthorectified for use in marine moving-map applications.
