‘Click and collect’ high resolution satellite imagery from anywhere on Earth
- Introducing SkyMap40: Soar’s upcoming satellite imagery product
- Our best imagery yet: 42cm/pixel, natural colour, 8 band multispectral imagery, with applications for mining, agriculture, and the environment
- One platform for all: Orders for SkyMap40 imagery will be processed and delivered to the customer all via the Soar platform
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. 1 October 2020 — Less than a year since Soar’s commercial launch, Soar is excited to announce its latest breakthrough high-resolution product, SkyMap40.
SkyMap40 offers access to newly tasked 42cm per pixel colour imagery, making on ground objects as small as passenger vehicles and trees clearly visible from space. With a unique 8 band multispectral capability, including short wave infra-red, SkyMap40 imagery is ideal for applications ranging from news media, mining, through to agriculture, and the environment.
The announcement comes as a superior offering to Soar’s existing 50cm product launched earlier this year. Soar has committed to the processing and delivery of SkyMap40 imagery as colour corrected, mosaiced images at no additional cost.
“Access to the SkyMap40 product allows Soar to offer a unique and highly innovative product to a wide range of customers in an easy to use platform setting. Fast turn-around times, coupled with competitive pay-as-you-go pricing, makes SkyMap40 imagery comparable to other leading providers such as Maxar”, explained Neil Prentice, Soar’s Chief Operating Officer.
“A ‘click and collect’ approach for pixels from space, users can select a spot on Earth they want the imagery for, confirm their order with a credit card, and the Soar platform does the rest without the need for specialised software,” continued Mr Prentice. “Similar to what you would experience from a private Google Earth feed.”
As to when users can expect SkyMap40 to be available, Soar is set to make an announcement in the near future.
Aside from its SkyMap products, Soar continues to provide global access to NASA’s Landsat (30m per pixel) and the European Space Agency’s Sentinel satellites (10m per pixel), free of charge.
