SPACE IMAGING on Wednesday released the photos, taken by the private companys Ikonos Earth-observing satellite. The Colorado-based firm operates the commercial high-resolution spacecraft, built to churn out pictures that reveal objects on the ground as small as 3.3 feet (1 meter) across.

 

Since its launch in September 1999, Ikonos has snapped more than 480,000 images. Each day the satellite collects about 900 images of the Earth. The satellite remains in tiptop shape, and is expected to operate for five to seven years, said Gary Napier, Space Imagings public relations manager.

 

The 1,600-pound (720-kilogram) satellite travels 4 miles per second in an orbit 423 miles (677 kilometers) above Earth. Ikonos travels in a sun-synchronous orbit, allowing the satellite to attain more imaging days.

 

Swinging around the planet 14 times a day, the spacecraft passes over any one region on the planet an average of twice a day. Ikonos has the ability to collect 20,000 square kilometers (7,700 square miles) in a single pass.

 

The Ikonos satellite system was built by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems. Raytheon built the communications, image processing and customer service elements. Eastman Kodak crafted the Ikonos camera.

 

Last December, Space Imaging received a government license to operate a future commercial remote-sensing spacecraft that images objects around 19 inches (a half-meter) in size. The company is in the process of defining technical specifications for the new satellite. Launch of the superhigh-power, camera-laden Ikonos is anticipated in 2004.
