Satellite Imagery of Ethiopia

With the advancements in technology in remote sensing, there are now multiple satellite imagery options with different resolutions, accuracies, spectral bands, and dates available for Ethiopia.

Maxar Technologies is a well-known choice for satellite imagery in Ethiopia, offering highly detailed imagery through their WorldView satellites. This imagery, with a resolution of up to 30 cm, is widely utilized in various fields such as defense, agriculture, and urban planning.

Another popular option for satellite imagery in Ethiopia is provided by 21st Century Aerospace Technologies. This Singapore-based company specializes in advanced remote sensing imagery products and services. One of their notable offerings is the Triplesat Constellation, which consists of three high-resolution satellites. These satellites are in the same sun-synchronous orbit, with a time difference of 33 minutes between each one.

Twenty-First Century Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd (21AT) also operates another significant project called BJ-3. This project includes a pair of optical Earth observation satellites. BJ-3A was launched on June 11, 2021, while BJ-3B was launched on August 24, 2022. Like the other options mentioned, these satellites can capture images with a resolution as high as 30 cm.

Additional choices include KOMPSAT-3 and KOMPSAT-3A, which are operated by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute. These satellites offer high-quality images of Ethiopia, with a resolution of up to 38 centimeters. Satellogic's Aleph-1 satellite constellation has also developed a unique method to enhance the resolution of their images. By utilizing their exclusive processing techniques, they can improve the resolution of satellite images over Ethiopia to 70 cm. This advancement in resolution allows Satellogic to offer a product that maintains the original radiometric values while better meeting the diverse project needs of customers in Ethiopia.
