RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, Canada—February 24, 2014: PCI Geomatics, a world leading developer of remote sensing and
photogrammetric software and systems, announced today it supports data analysis
of images from SkySat-1, the first in a planned constellation of 24 satellites
from Skybox
Imaging. Support for SkySat-1 is currently available
in the company’s new software, Geomatica 2013 (Service Pack 3 – SP3).
SkySat-1 is a high-performance satellite
capable of providing 4-band, high-resolution sub-meter class imagery. Operating in a sun-synchronous orbit of 600 km, SkySat-1 also
provides the first commercial high-resolution, full-motion video from space at 30 frames per second.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with PCI
Geomatics to ensure that our imagery products are seamlessly incorporated into
user’s workflows,” said Matt Wood, Skybox Senior Director of Enterprise Solutions.
“It is important that our imagery is easily accessible and can be used to
derive information in a timely, operational manner. We’ve worked closely with
PCI Geomatics to ensure speedy correction is possible in a way that is both
highly accurate and automated.”
“Our customers have come to expect Geomatica
to support new sensors as imagery becomes available, and Skybox is no
exception,” said Terry Moloney, President and CEO of PCI Geomatics. “SkySat-1
and other future sensors that will make up Skybox’s constellation will open new
and exciting possibilities for the operational use of imagery. We are pleased
to be able to offer support very early on in this exciting new era of
commercial earth observation where pervasive coverage and imaging is becoming
increasingly possible.”
