We have released a paper about KOMPSAT use in agriculture application on GIS Resources magazine. Check out more details from the following link: http://www.gisresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/GIS-Resources-Magazine-ISSUE-3-September-2017-GIS-Magazine.pdf

Earth-i, our sales partner in UK, built a platform called ‘Earth-i world’ to demonstrate change detection analysis over disaster area. KOMPSAT satellite imagery is used in this platform to assist Earth-i on supporting insurance companies in USA. Attached picture shows before (right) and after (left) view of hurricane Harvey over city of Houston in Texas, USA. The river is flooded, and roads were covered with thick mud. Please visit following link to experience their platform: http://apps.earthi.world/

SI Imaging Services offers KOMPSAT-3A, KOMPSAT-3, KOMPSAT-2 high-resolution satellite imagery to The Ministry of Land and Resources(MLR) of the People’s Republic of China with our partner Beijing Space View. The China One Map project runs for efficient management of the national territory every year and analyzes changes the entire country using electronic optical(EO) satellites. This year’s one began in August, and will be delivering the largest portion of the planned area by the end of this year.
