OrbView3
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) distributes for free long a very large volume of earth observation data through Earth Explorer, including multispectral and hyperspectral images of medium resolution (10-30m) such as Landasat, Hyperion, Ali and DTMs for the entire the world and for a period covering the last 40 years! Many of these images are available in raw data format and are suitable for complete reomte sensing processing and analysis.
Recently earthexplorer enriched its content with high spatial resolution images captured from OrbView3 sensor. The system was set in orbit in 2003 from ORBIMAGE (now GeoEye) and was able to record multispectral (visible and near infrared) and panchromatic images with spatial resolution of 1m and 4 respectively. In April 2007 GeoEye announced the end of the system, retaining vehicle’s control until March 2011 when the satellite crashed in the Pacific Ocean in a controlled manner.
