The SAR-Lupe satellites are the first German military satellites. [2] The testing of SAR-Lupe involved an inverse procedure, in which the satellite, mounted in a radome on Earth, was used to image the International Space Station, whose orbit is reasonably close to the one the satellite will eventually be in. One-metre resolution at the ISS was ...
The first military use of satellites was for reconnaissance. In the United States the first formal military satellite programs, Weapon System 117L, was developed in the mid-1950s. [2] Within this program a number of sub-programs were developed including Corona. [2] Satellites within the Corona program carried different code names.
Google Earth is a web and computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery.The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles.

A 16-satellite regional version (covering Asia and Pacific area) was completed by December 2012. Global service was completed by December 2018. [ 14 ] On 23 June 2020, the BDS-3 constellation deployment is fully completed after the last satellite was successfully launched at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center .
Google has updated it's aerial maps of Ukraine for the first time since the start of Russia's attack - with images now revealing the full scale of devastation. The contrast is stark in Mariupol.
However, the design concept surpassed the technological capabilities of the time, leading to the cancellation of the program in May 1962. The Initial Defense Communications Satellite Program (IDCSP) was proposed as one of two recommended follow-up approaches to deliver a working satellite. Philco (now Ford Aerospace) was contracted for the work.
