RapidEye is a commercial multispectral remote sensing satellite mission being designed and implemented by MDA for RapidEye AG. The RapidEye sensor images five optical bands in the 400-850nm range and provides 6.5m pixel size at nadir. Rapid delivery and short revisit times are provided through the use of a five-satellite constellation. It provides products for the following applications: -Agriculture - crop monitoring and mapping, yield prediction, etc. -Forestry - tree species separation, stem volume estimation, etc. -Security & Emergency - disaster management etc. -Energy & Infrastructure - pipeline monitoring, landcover classification etc. -Environment - change detection etc. -Cartography - satellite based maps, ortho photos, etc. -Other Markets - natural disaster assessment, 3D-visualization, etc. The satellites will be placed equally spaced in a single sun-synchronous orbit to ensure consistent imaging conditions and a short revisit time. The RapidEye system can access any area on Earth within a day and cover the entire agricultural areas of North America and Europe within five days. The RapidEye satellite platforms has been constructed by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL).
