DigitalGlobe images all of Haiti in a single day

20 January 2010, 11:24pm

DigitalGlobe has collected over 120,000 km2 of high-resolution color and black and white imagery of Haiti since activating the Crisis Event Service on Wednesday, January 13. And yesterday, we re-imaged virtually the entire country, adding another 75,000 km2 of new imagery. View the Haiti coverage map to see how the DigitalGlobe Constellation has achieved this remarkable coverage.
