IKONOS-2

Since its launch in September 1999, GeoEye's IKONOS satellite has provided a reliable stream of image data since January 2000, which has become the standard for commercial high-resolution satellite data products. With an altitude of 681 km and a revisit time of approximately 3 days, IKONOS produces one-meter panchromatic and four-meter multispectral imagery that can be combined to accommodate a wide range of high-resolution imagery applications.

自1999年9月发射以来，GeoEye公司之IKONOS卫星自2000年1月起便持续提供稳定的光学影像数据流，该数据流已逐渐成为商业高分辨率卫星影像产品之标杆。IKONOS卫星运行于681公里之轨道高度，并具有约3天之重访周期，能够生成一米的全色和多光谱影像，这些影像可相互结合，以适应各类高分辨率影像应用之广泛需求。
