Definition
- Earth Satellite Corporation (EarthSat) is an international professional services firm which specializes in the development and application of remote sensing and geographic information technologies (GIS). EarthSat projects focus on the exploration, sustainable development and management of the Earth's resources and the monitoring of the environment. EarthSat is a world leader in the utilization of remote sensing data from aircraft and satellites and is the largest commercial provider of enhanced satellite imagery. Remote sensing and spatial data base technologies are tools used by natural resource scientists to better understand, use and manage the Earth's resources. There is a single compelling reason to employ remote sensing and GIS technologies: they are extraordinarily cost-effective tools. EarthSat, which was founded in 1969, has been preeminent in the development and use of these powerful and advanced technologies. Our success is due in part to a corporate commitment to employing scientists who are first and foremost experts in the natural phenomena of their chosen disciplines. One cannot be a high tech geologist at EarthSat until first being a very good geologist. The instruments do not make the musician. When you hire EarthSat, you are hiring people who understand natural phenomena and processes, and who are also skilled in the use of a variety of space age technologies. For 30 years, EarthSat has conducted resource programs around the world for private and public clients. EarthSat's technical staff, which includes foresters, agronomists, ecologists, wildlife biologists, geologists, geographers, meteorologists, computer scientists, physicists and photographic specialists, have made substantial contributions to the advancement of image processing, information technology and GIS. EarthSat has performed over 350 studies in the fields of forestry, land use, environmental analysis, change detection, GIS, military applications, mineral exploration and agriculture. EarthSat provides weather and agricultural information to more than 200,000 customers every day. Website: "http://www.earthsat.com/" [Summary provided by Earth Satellite Corporation] (en)
