RapidEye Satellite Imagery

RapidEye is an ISO-certified geospatial information provider focused on integrating customized and industry specific solutions into the workflow of global customers in agriculture, forestry, energy, infrastructure, government, security and emergency.

RapidEye experts and the satellite system – a constellation of five satellites capable of downloading over 4 million km² of high resolution, multi-spectral imagery per day, and a ground segment for processing and archiving data – allow for cost-effective customized services.

The unique combination of large area coverage, high spatial resolution and the possibility of daily revisit to an area provide for superior management information solutions.

RapidEye has configured their processing facility to generate a variety of satellite-derived products. These product lines, which are generated by a highly automated processing facility capable of quick turnaround, cater to the entire spectrum of client capabilities and requirements.

Our Standard Image Products, taken by our satellite constellation, can be purchased in two product levels, depending on the task at hand.

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), are a digital representation of ground surface topography derived from overlapping (cross-track) stereo images. Our DEMs can be used to remove terrain distortions from our RE Ortho (3A) product in areas without an accurate DEM source.

Mosaics are a group of image tiles (either 25x25 km squares or 25x77 km strips) that have been assembled  to create a seamless larger area image.

RapidEye benefits from a public-private partnership with the Space Agency of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), which is supported by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. RapidEye is also cofinanced by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
