QUICKBIRD SATELLITE IMAGERY
The Quickbird Satellite was successfully launched on October 18, 2001 and has used its state-of-the-art BGIS 2000 sensor to obtain sub-metre resolution images until January 27th, 2015, when it re-entered the atmosphere after its 13 year orbit. Images were collected at a resolution of 0.65m every 1 – 3.5 days, allowing the images to be used for a multitude of applications, from change detection to urban planning.
