Satellite Sensors

Aeroquest Mapcon has been providing satellite surveys to government and commercial clients since 2007. Having developed partnerships with several imaging platforms allows Aeroquest Mapcon to provide imagery from various sensors such as WorldView-2, WorldView-3, TripleSat and Capella X-SAR to meet the precise imaging needs of our clients at the best price. For clients that need to cover areas with >30cm resolution imagery, require the additional imagery bands, need Synthetic Aperture Radar, or need imagery in remote locations, satellite platforms can be the right choice for their project. Aeroquest Mapcon can acquire the needed imagery and generate a full array of base map products such as orthophotography, digital elevation models and planimetry to meet our clients' needs.

Imagery from the following sensors is available.
