	Ikonos - High Resolution Satellite Imagery
		Ikonos is the first of the next generation of high spatial resolution satellites.
		Ikonos data records 4 channels of multispectral data at 4 metre resolution and one panchromatic channel with 1 metre resolution.
		This means that Ikonos was the first commercial satellite to deliver near photographic high resolution satellite imagery of anywhere in the world.

	Ikonos In Orbit Safely
		Sunnyvale - September 24, 1999 - The IKONOS satellite, designed and built by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems for Space Imaging of Denver, CO, is the most sophisticated remote sensing spacecraft ever launched for the commercial market -- capable of photographing objects on the ground as small as one meter.
		IKONOS is the latest in a long heritage of Lockheed Martin's remote sensing satellite technology for national security applications that began with the Corona program in the 1950s.
		The primary payload of the IKONOS satellite is a digital imaging sensor capable of collecting both panchromatic images at a resolution of one meter, and multispectral images with a resolution of four meters.

	ESRI News - Spring 2000 ArcNews -- Successful IKONOS Launch Offers New Source of GIS Data
		GIS users are more anxious than ever to load IKONOS imagery into their systems where it can be enhanced, rectified, and integrated with other spatial data to yield valuable new geographic information.
		IKONOS acquires panchromatic imagery with one-meter spatial resolution and multispectral imagery at four meters.
		IKONOS and aerial photography complement the data sources that have traditionally served as sources of land cover and digital elevation models (e.g., Landsat, SPOT, and Indian data).

		The extent of damage to the Pentagon was evident in a picture from one of the most powerful imaging satellites, which offered a rare overhead glimpse of the charred southern section of U.S. military headquarters, since authorities grounded air traffic after the Tuesday assault.
		The picture was taken by IKONOS, a private imaging spacecraft that can distinguish features one meter across, sharp enough to discern the particular stroke of a swimmer in a pool.
		IKONOS also aimed its camera on the wreckage of the World Trade Center in Manhattan.

	UCL/GEO - Remote Sensing/Projects/Integration of Ikonos data
		Due to the inaccessibility and political instability of the region, the utilisation of IKONOS data as an alternative to low-altitude aerial photographs for the mapping of urban development and spread of informal settlements was investigated.
		The obvious disadvantage of using aerial photography, as opposed to the same resolution IKONOS data, is that classifications have to be done manually, as opposed to automated processes.
		IKONOS data clearly have great potential for applications in less accessible areas, where coverage by low-altitude aerial photographs is not feasible.

		Ikonos II apparently avoided the problems faced by its predecessor, Ikonos I, which failed to reach its orbit when a rocket failed to separate from the satellite after its launch in April.
		While Ikonos does not have the power to discern individual people, it will be able to see boats, trucks, roads, and individual trees.
		Ikonos was originally scheduled to go into orbit in April, but an Athena II rocket failed to deliver the original satellite to its planned orbit during launch.

	IKONOS at work at the District
		The IKONOS Satellite was launched in 1999 by Space Imaging Inc. It was the first commercial high-resolution imaging satellite.
		The final IKONOS mosaic was first utilized in a research project entitled "Bringing Raster GIS to the District of North Vancouver", completed by two BCIT students studying the usability of raster data (images) in a GIS.
		More than just pictures, IKONOS images can be use for a number of applications: images from sequential years can be obtained to perform temporal analysis, such as flood plain hazard assessments, and the multispectral capabilities of IKONOS imagery can be used to perform various spatial analyses, vegetation health assessments for example.

	Matching of IKONOS Stereo and Multitemporal GEO Images for DSM Generation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Usually, the sensor model used for IKONOS is the rational function model, other models like polynomial mapping functions (Baltsavias and Stallmann, 1992) or DLT can be treated as a special case of the rational polynomial functions.
		The IKONOS images used were pre-processed with the third approach mentioned in Baltsavias et al.
		Although the IKONOS images were already epipolarly resampled, the system could not recognise this, and thus was trying to transform the images, but unsuccessfully, and thus matching with nonadaptive strategies was failing (it is unknown whether AATE performed on-the-fly epipolar resampling or not, and if yes how).
