Talk:Satellite imagery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blue Marble was a project for mapping the visible color of the Earth with about 1-km resolution. The beautiful resulting images have become very popular in the media and among the public.

Blue Marble is the name given to a single photo taken during a Apollo space mission, it is not a project.

[edit] Resolution

Rural areas are mapped at 100-150m resolution? The Landsat program images most of the world to 15m also see here and search for Landsat. Should this be updated? How about some discussion or at least links to spy satellite imagery, which is classified but guessed to be at 4cm resolution? cluth 09:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moving Images?

What's the point of this section? It seems to be somewhat random, singular, and under a heading to which I don't understand the relationship....--Koeppen 08:46, 26 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Google's Intention

Perhaps someone should mention that in many countries, especially the U.S., google doesn't provide any more significant photo data to the public then is already available for sale by the government itself.

[edit] Merger

I must say, I feel like Satellite Image Comparison should be deleted outright. It has no sources and just two large images that make up the article. Or are you thinking that a section of satellite imagery should say something about image comparison? I'd be ok with that too.--Will.i.am 00:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Feeling is an unjustifiable for reason of deletion. The article in question is there for support of another article. This article Satellite Image Comparison is justified by its content as it supports a stream of facts coming from the articles water vapor, humidity, etc. DO NOT DELETE OR MERGE. --Hard Raspy Sci 17:47, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
