10 December 2009, 8:17pm

RapidEye's Online Shop For Satellite Imagery
RapidEye is pleased to announce that as of today, our easy to use online source – The Geodata Kiosk – is now ready for business with imagery of Germany.

The RapidEye Geodata Kiosk is an online shop for satellite imagery with ready-to-use data available immediately after purchase. After a secure credit card payment is made, the data is ready to be picked up immediately via secure download.

What To Expect From Our German Version

All data available in the Geodata Kiosk are RapidEye Ortho Products (level 3A); orthorectified, five meter pixel sized multispectral imagery from the RapidEye satellite constellation, ready to integrate into any GIS system. In addition to the data for Germany this release also includes the data for 16 free demonstration products for potential customers to test.

“The big benefits for our customers are that they can choose and buy only the area they really need, as no minimum sized area is required and purchases can be made with as little as 50 Euro. Customers instantly get what they order and can choose between different delivery formats, including GeoTIFF and NITF. Re-projection on-the-fly between UTM and geographic coordinate systems is also an option that will appeal to our more knowledgeable customers,” comments Michael W. Prechtel, Head of Marketing and Sales for RapidEye.

So Easy to Use

The Geodata Kiosk interface is very quick and easy to learn. After following 6 simple steps, you will obtain the requested data and be ready to start your project.

Free Test Data

In the Geodata Kiosk, we offer a selection of sixteen free demonstration products with images from all over the world.

Additional Ways to Obtain RapidEye Satellite Imagery

The RapidEye Geodata Kiosk is not the only way to obtain RapidEye satellite imagery, nor is the imagery available on the Kiosk all that's available from RapidEye. For the opportunity to purchase millions more square kilometers of Earth as single or multi-temporal datasets, RapidEye's library can be searched either through a local distributor or directly through our Customer Service department at sales@rapideye.de.
