Quickbird
The Quickbird satellite was lauched in 2001. Much of the high
resolution imagery used by GoogleEarth was collected with Quickbird.
Quickbird captures four multi-spectral band and a higher
resolution pan-chromatic image. High resolution color images
are produced with pan-sharpening, resulting in products with 60 upto
100cm resolution.
