Best Satellite Imaging Journals

Besides the many government-managed earth-observing satellites, several commercial earth-watching satellites are operated independently. This has increased dramatically as the demand for updated, high-resolution satellite imagery is expanding. Mapping companies like Google Maps etc., private firms and researchers are using commercial satellite imaging technology. There is a significant amount of commercial satellite available data, but there is still a major cost of buying the data. Commercial satellite imaging is used for planning, disaster preparedness and response, and intelligence gathering in the defense and intelligence sectors. Oil and gas, mining, insurance, and agriculture sectors, and urban planning, environmental management, news reporting, and archaeology, are using the same technology. It is the cornerstone of the growing market for location-based services and cloud mapping applications like Google Earth and Maps. Imaging, along with many other information layers-including census data or human geography or any amount of databases-offers decision-makers with the analytic tools they need to make informed decisions. And the day is at hand when, using predictive analytics and geospatial technology, one can now make logical and reliable predictions.
