RapidEye Provide Forest Imagery to USGS13/11/2009 |
| RapidEye have signed a contract with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to image a substantial portion of the state of Colorado. “USGS will be replicating a study that was carried out in 2008 to better understand how climate changes are impacting the conifer forest conditions in Colorado. We are excited that our higher resolution imagery and unique Red Edge band have been chosen, which should give them improved results,” commented Joerg Widmer, Sales Team Member of RapidEye. |

The contract stipulates that over 130,000 km² (about 50,200 mi²) of imagery collected from June through August 2009 over the state of Colorado will be delivered to the USGS this month. The imagery will be used to support the 2009 Colorado Forest Heath Assessment project, which is being led by the USGS and the Rocky Mountain Geographic Science Center (RMGSC).
Additionally, the contract is open for the same time frame in 2010.
