Update: India's "Google Earth," Bhuvan, is Out
Update: Here's a review from Media Nama. Bottom line: Our short, politically-correct verdict is that “it’s a start”, and it’s definitely not a myth. The non-politically correct verdict is a lot harsher, particularly given how difficult it was to review this product..." Here's another from Content Sutra with essentially the same message: there is work to be done to enhance it.

DoD Wants More Imagery; GeoEye and DigitalGlobe Announce Quarterly Earnings
On Monday quite a bit happened in the satellite remote sensing arena:
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) issued a statement of requirements to get industry input and guide its own strategic planning process for imagery needed in the future. While the document is classified analysts and executives suggest a request for proposals later this year which could mean a few billion dollars in revenues for DigitalGlobe Inc and/or GeoEye in the coming years.
DigitalGlobe announced second quarter net income of $8.4 million (19 cents a share) down from $11.6 million (26 cents a share) last year. The forecast for the full year is expected below Wall Street expectations. The second quarter included a $7.7 million pre-tax charge for DigitalGlobe paying off debt early and was the first the company reported as a public company.
GeoEye had a surprisingly good second quarter. Net income for the second quarter was $9.6 million (46 cents per fully diluted share) up from net loss of $558,000 (3 cents per fully diluted share) last year. GeoEye said it would not plan for GeoEye-2 until the government stated its needs and funding plans.

Using Satellite Imagery to Locate Trees for Urban Cooling
The Brisbane City Council (Australia) is using satellite technology to pinpoint the hottest locations in the city. The plan is to use the heat maps to locate 10,000 new trees to be planted in the next year.
The project is part of the mayor's 2 Million Trees project, which aims to cover 40 % of the city in shade by 2026.
Sorry there are no details of which satellite's imagery was used or which bands...
