	Satellite imagery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Satellite imagery are photographs of Earth or other planets made from artificial satellites.
		First satellite photographs of the Moon might have been made on October 6, 1959 by the Soviet satellite Luna 3, on a mission to photograph the far side of the Moon.
		In the early 21st century satellite imagery became widely available when affordable, easy to use software with access to satellite imagery databases is offered by several companies and organizations.

		The objective of this paper is to provide an up-to-date overview of the current and potential use of satellite imagery within the UN humanitarian organizations and their operations and to illustrate the wide range of applications of earth observation (EO) data among this community.
		Satellite images are processed and analyzed according to the specific needs of the organizations and distributed to users in the field and/or decision makers in regional offices or headquarters.
		Typical parameters listed in satellite metafiles are the type of sensor, center and corner coordinates, acquisition date and time, satellite orbit parameters, file size in pixel width and height, number of channels for multispectral images, processing level and data provider, information on missing data, and number of bits/pixels.

	U.S. Satellite Imagery, 1960-1999
		Imagery can be obtained during day or night in the presence of cloud cover by employing an imaging radar (an acronym for radio detection and ranging).
		Radar imagery is produced by bouncing radio waves off an area or an object and using the reflected returns to produce an image of the target.
		The satellites have operated in orbits of approximately 400 miles and at inclinations of 57 and 68 degrees respectively.

	Satellite Imagery (Stormsurf)
		Geo-synchronous satellites, positioned about 18,000 miles above the earth, rotate at the exact same speed as the earth, and thus appear to remain in a fixed position over one place of the globe at all times.
		Polar orbiting satellites circumnavigate the earth at a much lower altitude than their geo-synchronous counterparts, but make a complete pass over both poles of the earth (north and south) about once every 100 minutes and cover the entire globe twice in a 24 hour period.
		The data obtained from the satellite, when compared to baseline data, is used to determine how much higher or lower a particular segment of the ocean is from 'normal'.

	Satellite and Imagery Information
		Geostationary satellites are called geostationary because they are in orbits so that they go around the Earth at the same rate at which the Earth rotates on its axis, so that they stay in the same position relative to the earth.
		These satellites are much closer to the earth than the geostationaries and move over different points on the earth.
		Visible imagery is only taken during the day (in the area where the satellite is located).
