IKONOS

IKONOS is a satellite launched in 1999 that captures high-resolution images of Earth's surface. It provides detailed, up-to-date pictures used in applications like urban planning, disaster management, agriculture, and map-making. Its advanced sensors can see objects as small as about 1 meter across, offering a clear view of landscapes and structures from space. These images help governments, businesses, and researchers monitor changes on the ground accurately and efficiently, supporting decision-making across various fields.
