Satellite imaging offers an ideal
solution to remotely monitor sites of interest. Repeat
overpasses of satellites on different dates provide
imagery from the same vantage point and sensors, readily allowing
comparison for changes of interest. Satellites can image
from larger regional areas down to specific properties
at a very high resolution. Site monitoring service
packages from Archer Geographic make monitoring sites of
interest by satellite very cost effective, and are
tailored to specific client needs.
In addition to its repeatability
and cost effectiveness, site monitoring with satellite
imagery is also ideal for remote and international
locations that are difficult to monitor by other
methods. Satellite image coverage is nearly global,
and offers the advantages of quick deployment and
secrecy/anonymity.
There are dozens of advanced
imaging satellites in commercial operation today,
offering a full spectrum of technology, including very
high resolution (50 cm) panchromatic, multispectral, and
emerging hyperspectral, thermal, and radar sensors.
Radar offers an all weather or night-time capability.
Some satellites have the ability to revisit a site on a
daily basis. View a listing of available satellite
systems.

monitoring services include:
