Photos: Obama inauguration viewed from space, 20 Jan 2009
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13580_3-10...ml?tag=nl.e434 GeoEye-1, the satellite that will supply Google with high-resolution imagery of the Earth, took a high-resolution photograph of the inauguration of President Barack Obama. The satellite is expected to start producing data for Google in coming weeks, but in the meantime, this shot shows a bit more tantalizing detail about what will show in Google Earth and Google Maps. It was taken from 423 miles up as the 4,300-pound satellite traveled 17,000 miles per hour. GeoEye launched GeoEye-1 in September, and Google has exclusive rights to imagery for online use. ![]() Re partnerships: Google to buy GeoEye satellite imagery, 29 Aug 2008 http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-100...?tag=mncol;txt |
