*Click on the 1080p HD and full screen toggle to see this video in full resolution. We are pleased to introduce the world's first high-resolution HD video of Earth taken from a commercial remote sensing satellite. This video showcases a selection of the first videos taken from SkySat-1, the first of our planned 24 satellite constellation. The video clips have not yet been calibrated or tuned. SkySat-1 captures up to 90-second video clips at 30 frames per second. The resolution is high enough to resolve objects that impact the global economy like shipping containers, while maintaining a level of clarity that does not determine human activity. SkySat-1 also captures some of the highest quality color imagery of any commercial satellite and is capable of sub-meter native color and near-infrared imagery. The most revolutionary fact is that SkySat-1 was built and launched for more than an order of magnitude lower cost than traditional sub-meter imaging satellites. SkySat-1 was launched on November 21, 2013 aboard a Dnepr rocket into a 600 kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

So you need a satellite to do these low altitude shots? What a waste of money.

welcome to the new world order

This is b.s. in the largest fashion. The 40th floor of the renaissance tower in Dallas is higher up than these pics. At best, these could be as high as 8-10K ft off the ground. And that's being on the positive side. Wow, really??? Really???From space???? Get the hell out of here!!! Complete retarded nonsense.
-
that footage is NOT "From Space" like the title suggests. it's not even close to space, and hardly above the ground really. i can see cars and people moving. you can't see that from space, like from the supposed ISS so, stop saying this is "From Space" please.

how do scientists stop tiny rocks in space from destroying satellites?
