NaturEYE
The NaturEYE constellation consists of 5 high-resolution satellites orbiting the Earth, providing new imagery every day for the entire planet. The spatial resolution goes up to 2 meters making NaturEYE the ideal solution for land dynamic monitoring, mineral resources exploration, environment monitoring, and disaster monitoring and mitigation.
The typical applications with NaturEYE's high resolution and wide swath include:
Monitoring land cover change for environmental monitoring.
Agriculture applications, like crop monitoring and food security management.
Detailed monitoring of vegetation and forest.
Parameter generation (e.g. leaf area index, chlorophyll concentration, carbon mass estimations).
Observation of coastal zones: Maritime environmental monitoring, coastal zone mapping.
Inland water monitoring.
Flood mapping & management (risk analysis, loss assessment, and disaster management during floods).
