RapidEye's constellation of five Earth Observation satellites offer an unrivaled combination of advantages. Delivering near real-time products in five spectral bands with five meter pixel spacing, the system is able to revisit the same point on Earth every day and can obtain more than 4 million square kilometres of Earth Observation data daily.

RapidEye's satellite constellation serves its core business of integrating customized and industry specific solutions into each customers workflow. Its individualized consulting produces distinct geospatial solutions that take advantage of RapidEye's core capabilities of multi-temporal analysis, change detection, vegetation identification and feature extraction.  

Solutions have been identified and designed with RapidEye's target markets in mind: Agriculture, Forestry, Energy & Infrastructure, Security & Emergency, Environment and Government.

RapidEye maintains professional working relationships with research institutes all over the world. The Centre for Aerospace Research of the Earth (CASRE) in Kiev, Ukraine, is one of them. In the frame of the “HABITAT-CHANGE” project, RapidEye bundled CASRE´s know-how and RapidEye´s capabilities in the field of habitat research by means of Remote Sensing for the benefit of all project members. RapidEye's data of its satellite constellation are most suitable for vegetation monitoring because of the constellation's multi-temporal capabilities (high revisit rate). As an associated partner, contacts from RapidEye were be available to answer all questions related to its satellite data, data processing for land cover analysis and change detection.
