The IKONOS satellite is the world's first commercial satellite to collect black-and-white images with 1-meter resolution and multispectral imagery with 4-meter resolution. 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. 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. 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. IKONOS image data is available in easy to use 8-bit or full dynamic range 11-bit format.
