The high-resolution color image from GeoEye-1, which was launched on September 6, was of Kutztown University campus in Pennsylvania.
While the fact that the satellite is being used by Google is getting all the attention, GeoEye-1's main client is the US government's mapping arm, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. GeoEye-1's government client will receive higher resolution photos than commercial clients such as Google.
Now let's see the next lawsuits about privacy violations coming. It'll take some time for Google to learn that it cannot simply do everything they want.
