GeoEye Inc., a commercial satellite imagery company, launched the GeoEye-1 satellite in September of 2008. GeoEye-1, manufactured by General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, provides 41 cm (16 in) panchromatic and 1.65 m (5.4 ft) multispectral imagery in 15.2 km (9.4 mi) swaths, the world’s highest resolution commercial earth-imaging satellite. Google, which has its logo on the side of the rocket, has exclusive online mapping use of its data. While GeoEye-1 is capable of imagery with details the size of 41 cm (16 in), that resolution will only be available to the government. Google will have access to details of 50 cm (20 in). Prior maximum commercial imagery was 60 centimeters (24 in).
