Several key agricultural districts of Australia are currently being imaged with the unique spectral instruments onboard the five RapidEye satellites currently orbiting the planet. For the first time imagery is available in the ‘red edge’. Other satellites only provide 10m multispectral imaging capabilities across Green, Red and Near Infra-Red and 20m resolution for Short Wave Infra-Red.

Evaluation of RapidEye data for a range of environmental, catchment management and agricultural applications is underway by key consultants, academic institutions and government scientists. Case studies will be available in the coming months.

“The quick collection of satellite imagery by RapidEye has demonstrated one of the systems advantages. RapidEye can routinely capture large areas in short time frames, providing clients with timely, cost-effective 5m orthoproducts” says Dr Gail Kelly, Business Development Manager of AAM “This imagery will prove useful for a wide range of agricultural and environmental applications.”

RapidEye is the only commercial geospatial solutions provider to own and operate a constellation of five identical Earth Observation satellites. AAM is the distributor in Oceania for satellite data products from RapidEye. If you would like to request a quotation, please email here.

In the meantime, AAM will continue its focus on professional products and services for our clients throughout Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Asia whilst striving for continuous improvement and innovation in all of our activities.

We now have a new domain name resulting in a new web address and new email format:

We look forward to meeting with our clients and partners over the comings months. Our familiar logo will prevail so look out for our staff at trade booths at industry events and watch our website for the latest AAM developments.
