GeoEye-1

# Overview GeoEye-1 has been collecting panchromatic and multispectral imagery since its launch on September 6, 2008. Its high resolution and advanced geolocation accuracy make GeoEye-1’s imagery ideal for in-depth imagery analysis. **Uses** Useful for image analysis, map creation, and change detection. **Spectral Bands** Panchromatic band Multispectral 4-band **Date Range** September 2008 – present **Products available through GBDX** DigitalGlobe Basic (Level 1B imagery) See the [GeoEye-1 Data Sheet](https://dg-cms-uploads-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/document/file/97/DG_GeoEye1.pdf) for more details.

The files included with a DigitalGlobe product on GBDX are: File | Details --- | --- attFile | Attitude File, File extension is Attitude File. The attitude file includes the time of first data point, the number of points, and the interval between the points and attitude information. browseJpgFile | Product Browse File, File extension is .JPG. The product browse file is a JPEG compressed browse image of the delivered product. ephFile | Ephemeris File, File extension is .EPH. The ephemeris file includes the time of first data point, the number of points, and the interval between the points and ephemeris information. geoFile | Geometric Calibration File, File extension is .GEO. The geometric calibration file contains the standard photogrammetric parameters of a virtualcamera that models the corresponding camera and optical system for Basic Imagery products imdFile | Image Metadata Fle, File extension is .IMD. The image metadata file describes key attributes about the image product, including product level, corner coordinates, and projection information, and time of acquisition. readmeTxtFile | Product Component Index File, File extension is .TXT.he README file provides copyright information and the names of the ISD files for a single product within a delivery. rpbFile | RPC00B File, File extension is .RPB. The RPC00B file contains the RPC information, which can be used to rectify the image. This is a mathematical mapping from object space coordinates to image space coordinates. tilFile | Tile Map File, File extension is .RPB. The tile map file assists the customer in determining what tile to ingest to look at a specific part of the order polygon. xmlFile | XML File, File extension is .XML. This file contains the same information as the combined README, Licensing, Image Metadata, Tile Map and RPC00Bfiles, in XML format. For Basic Imagery Products, the attitude, ephemeris, and geometric calibration file are included as well. These files cannot be viewed in the GBDX Receiving Bucket, but they can be passed into a task. ## GeoEye-1 Acquisition Properties These are the properties associated with a GeoEye-1 Acquisition: Property | Description | Values --- | --- | --- browseURL | This is the browse url from the GBDX thumbnail service | ex. https://geobigdata.io/thumbnails/v1/browse/103001003778D300.large.png catalogID |DigitalGlobe CatalogID for the raw data (acquisition).

This is sometimes referred to as the "acquisition ID." The catalog ID for the acquisition is also displayed in the properties for products derived from that acquisition. The catalog ID is used to place an order for a product. Example Acquisition Catalog ID: `1020010007AF7100` ## Product ID For a DigitalGlobe product, the "identifier" field is the product ID. The format of the product ID is: `<catid>_<part>_<band comb (MSI, PAN, SWR)>_<soli>` Example: 10300100301DCE00_P002_MUL_055825267010.
