Satellite data archives
Browse through the catalogues of major providers of very high resolution satellite imagery.
In November Gisat made available to the general public new webmapping application with which all those interested in satellite imagery can browse through the archives of satellite data with very high resolution.
In this application – via the combination of database and spatial query – you can find detailed information about the satellite images that match your search criteria (e.g. acquisition date or cloud cover) and cover a specified area of interest. In addition to a detailed spreadsheet listing you also get footprint and quicklook of each satellite scene. Information about selected scenes can be exported into PDF (quicklooks) or KML/SHP (footprints) files.
The database contains all data acquired over the area of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This database will be continuously updated and expanded to provide as much as up-to-date information on the availability of archived very high resolution satellite imagery.
Current content of the database is described in the next table:

| Ikonos | GeoEye | 1 m / 4 m | 16.05.2000 | 06.03.2011 | Yes |
