Sensor details
| Sensor Name : | IKONOS |
| Sensor Description : | It orbits the Earth every 98 minutes at an altitude of approximately 680 kilometers or 423 miles. IKONOS was launched into a sun-synchronous orbit, passing a given longitude at about the same local time (10:30 A.M.) daily. IKONOS can produce 1-meter imagery of the same geography every 3 days. Spectral Range 1-meter black-and-white (panchromatic) 0.45 - 0.90 mm. 4-meter multispectral Blue: 0.45 - 0.52 mm Green: 0.51 - 0.60 mm Red: 0.63 - 0.70mm Near IR: 0.76 - 0.85 mm |
| Spatial Resolution : | 1m black-and-white (panchromatic) and 4m multispectral (red, blue, green, near infrared) |
| Additional Information : | IKONOS sensor overview |
| Platform : | IKONOS |
| Description : | IKONOS is derived from the Greek word for "image." The IKONOS satellite is the world's first commercial satellite to collect black-and-white (panchromatic) images with 1-meter resolution and multispectral imagery with 4-meter resolution. Standard products include 1-meter black-and-white, 4-meter multispectral (all bands), 1-meter color (true color, false color, or 4-band), and a 1-meter and 4-meter data bundle. The IKONOS satellite weighs about 1600 pounds. It orbits the Earth every 98 minutes at an altitude of approximately 680 kilometers or 423 miles. IKONOS was launched into a sun-synchronous orbit, passing a given longitude at about the same local time (10:30 A.M.) daily. IKONOS can produce 1-meter imagery of the same geography every 3 days. |
