QuickBird offers 2-foot resolution images

There's a good article on CNN about QuickBird. It appeared in our local paper a few days ago but I couldn't find a link to it until now. Interesting that both Ikonos and QuickBird are owned by Colorado companies. Here's more info on QuickBird.

Here's a link to DigitalGlobe where some QuickBird images are available online. Pretty good stuff. Here's a sample 61 cm resolution panchromatic image of Sunnyvale (CA) airport.

Here's a 2.44 meter multi-spectral resolution image of the same airport.
