Seattle-based Spaceflight Industries announced Wednesday a new on-demand satellite imagery service called BlackSky Spectra that enables customers to access imagery online. <\/p>\n
The Web-based service allows searching of BlackSkys imagery archive database, containing high-resolution satellite images. Users can also select a specific place on a map and order customized satellite imagery of that location. <\/p>\n
Spaceflight said it has now added new imagery to its existing database from a variety of multi-spectrum and higher-resolution satellites built and deployed by European aerospace giant Airbus. <\/p>\n
The imagery includes not only photos but also radar and radio frequency images. Radar images can supplement visible satellite imagery in areas with cloud cover or after dark. <\/p>\n
BlackSky is transforming how we look at the world by integrating the widest variety of sensors into a revolutionary, easy to use service, said Spaceflight chief executive Jason Andrews. <\/p>\n
Blacksky was formed in 2015 with the goal of launching a constellation of 60 imaging satellites, the first of which launched last fall. <\/p>\n
At that time, Andrews said the company would builda Web-based platform that will enable easy access to images of anywhere on earth from both its own satellites and those operated by other companies such as Airbus. <\/p>\n
