The Earth observation industry

Over the past 50 years, remote sensing via satellites has yielded both spectacular views of our planet and unprecedented scientific insights.
Today, Earth observation satellites are at the forefront of monitoring climate change, deforestation, rising sea levels, and greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. They’re also vital for homeland security, coastal surveillance and disaster management.

But how does it work? Tasking capabilities, data collection resolution, agility, flexibility… Airbus's experts are here to tackle all the questions you may have about Earth observation.

Understanding geometric processing of Airbus satellite imagery

Learn how Airbus's three levels of geometric correction—Primary, Projected, and Orthorectification—cater to specific user needs, offering varying degrees of precision for satellite imagery analysis.
