Basic Satellite Operations

Pushbroom Scanning

• It takes roughly 4 seconds to collect a 16.5 km x 16.5 km image

• The sensor collects: – Panchromatic (Black &

White) – Multispectral

• Blue • Green • Red • Near-infrared

16.5 km

Sensor Focal Plane has 5 color lines

Store and down-load

GeoEye ground stations for Ikonos Command and data link

• Satellites collect imagery in the descending pass

• Approximately 95 minute orbit

Benefits • Provides shorter shadows • Morning less likely to be

cloudy • Provides most consistency

10:30 am sun-synchronous orbit

Orbit: Sun-synchronous-Polar Orbit

16.5 km

High Orbit More time on target Larger area seen Shorter revisit

Stereo Collection

• Same Pass Collection of Large Areas

– 3-D feature extraction – DEM Creation – Worldwide Ortho – Reference Stereo (25m

CE90) – Precision Stereo (4m CE90)

Some real rocket science

• How do you point satellite • Reaction Wheels or Control Moment Gyro

1) Change the speed of a spinning wheel 2) Change the orientation of wheel

• GEN II Satellites – GeoEye -1 50 cm, 4 band , some agility, stereo – WV 1 50cm, black and white, high agility, stereo – WV 2 50 cm, 8 band, high agility, stereo – Pleiades 1 (a and b) 50 cm, 4 band, high agility, daily revisit, direct tasking – Spot 6/7 150 cm, 4 band, high agility, daily revisit, direct tasking, very large foot print.

• Gen III Satellite

– WV 3 30 cm, 16 band, high agility, stereo

Increased collection with WV-1agility

Precision Shallow water bathymetry

• 4-5m depth posting, 0.5 m vertical (shallow) • Based on 8 band WV-2 mono imagery • Color calibration • Needs some calibration control • Raster maps and contours • Limited to about 30m depth • Cost range $120-$150/ sq km

Identification of Bush Refineries

DigitalGlobe Color Infrared Imagery

Burned Area

Healthy Vegetation

In color infrared imagery, healthy vegetation is presented in various shades of red. Conversely, vegetation that has been burned or otherwise damaged by oil in the water appears black.

Due to the refining process employed by the thieves, much of the vegetation in and around the immediate area tends to be destroyed by fire.

Development of Illicit Refineries

Imagery analysts leverage DigitalGlobe’s vast archive of imagery to determine the time frame in which new refineries are established.

Multiple resolution of DEM .5m to 20m spacing .25m – 5m vertical

High revisit stereo has made timing practical

Wide area collections with SPOT 6/7 for mid resolution

New methods that exploit existing mono imagery

Spot 20 m DSM converted to slope Green is < than 10°, Yellow is 10-20° and red is >20°
