Reefa Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Majority of my articles are related to government spying, privacy and security issues of your online stuffs and also measures that you can adopt in protecting yourself from being spied on. But, your all efforts will soon be of no use - someone is about to secretly track your every footstep. Google will soon get an eye in the space that will be enough powerful to see your face, thanks to the new satellite, WorldView-3 satellite, which is scheduled to launch later today (11:30 a.m. PST) from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base atop an Atlas 5 rocket by Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services, according to Motherboard. DIGITAL EYE IN SPACE WorldView-3 satellite is developed by a US-based company DigitalGlobe, one of the world’s leading global content providers of high-resolution earth imagery, supplying most online mapping services to the US government and NASA. The satellite contains :Exelis-built 1.1 meter aperture telescope Primary visible/SWIR sensorBall Aerospace-developed CAVIS instrument, which stands for Clouds, Aerosol, water Vapor, Ice, and Snow.The Ball Aerospace will monitor the atmosphere and provide appropriate data when atmospheric conditions obscure objects on Earth. HIGHEST RESOLUTION IMAGERY Two months ago, the U.S. government imposed legal restrictions on high-detail satellite imagery, although military satellites were free to use higher resolutions. Companies like DigitalGlobe were limited to capturing satellite imagery from 50 centimeters square of ground space per pixel, but are now free to capture satellite imagery up to 25 cm resolution — twice as detailed as the previous limit. Now, today's launch of WorldView-3 satellite will offer DigitalGlobe customers images with four times the resolution of current machines. Its short-wave infrared sensors will also be able to capture images regardless of cloud or smoke cover. It will be able to photograph 680,000 square kilometres every day. WHO WILL HAVE ACCESS TO IT In short, it means that regular DigitalGlobe customers including Google, Microsoft, NASA, and multiple US federal agencies such as National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency — played a pivotal role in the seizure of Osama Bin Laden, will eventually be able to zoom in far closer than they are currently able to, and make out much more detail. NEXT GENERATION SATELLITE DigitalGlobe, which already has five satellites in orbit, is currently lobbying the US government for even further relaxation of the resolution restrictions, down to 10 cm per pixel maximum. “At 25 centimeters, the images will be detailed enough to classify the make of a car,” the report states. “If the restrictions relax further, the plate number or owner’s face could come into clear view.” GOOGLE WANTS YOUR MORE CLOSURE LOOK Google, which recently acquired satellite company Skybox for $500m, also has plans to collect its own high-resolution satellite images in the future, with launch of 24 of its own satellites by 2018, which will capture images of the entire planet three times per day at a distance closer than 1 meter of resolution, and 90 seconds of video at 30 frames-per-second. The company has already launched two of its own satellites via Russian rockets. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CODYQX4 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Well... I'll begin to sunbath naked while watching porn... lolBy that reasoning we should all schedule animal porn to play all night every night on mute just in case the NSA might be watching.Send it to cloud services too.It must suck to be the guy at Google who has to filter some of the things they see when there is software doubt. All those Tubgirl and Goatse pics to sift through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humble3d Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 While I AM pretty old, I do remember the use of a system bubbed "DATE ON A DIME" which hadthese same abilities as the recent "spies"...Accordingly, My guess is that we are being mislead into thinking technology which was around inthe 1950's and 1960's is brand new today...Having lived probably too many years, I continue to see old technology presented as new...For example, who here has ever heard of Naval Task Force 157 ??Probably no one...No worries, There really is nothing NEW under the sun...Live long and prosper ~ Mr. Spock :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
