John Pike, who is a recognized expert on satellite imagery and national security issues, has helped to put this site together. Another must for people interested in satellite imagery and national security.


GOES Project Science
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite provides the cloud images we see on the weather. Although the resolution is low, the coverage is vast and it does give broad views of areas.


Hobby Space
If you want to learn more about how to predict when satellites will be overhead, this is a good place to start.


NASA Image Exchange
A database of NASA imagery from the manned missions. The resolution is not the best, but the coverage is great and the price is right.


National Imagery and Mapping Agency
Satellite imagery of the while world is available from this site. The data from the scenes can take a lot of time to download.


National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Shuttle Radar Tography Mission
The most precise images of the world ever produced. The goal of this mission was to accurately map 80% of the earth's landmass with incredible detail. This is the critical elevation data necessary for three dimensional images using satellite imagery and "fly throughs."


USGS version of Shuttle Radar Tography Mission
The same data as on the link above should be available from this site.

http://www.terraimageusa.com *Terra Image USA SPOT Satellite Imagery Offer* Terra Image USA is a company dedicated to making commercial satellite imagery broadly accessible. We have focused our efforts on SPOT, becoming the exclusive distributor to the US civilian government market, because of SPOT's unique ability to economically, quickly and reliably cover large areas at a useful resolution. SPOT's 2.5 m imagery is the least cost substitute for aerial photography, either where higher resolution isn't available or required at all, or where it's only available or required in limited areas of interest.
