The satellite, part of RapidEye constellation, weighing about 330 pounds [150 kilograms] at launch, will spend more than seven years circling the planet downloading more than 1.5 million square miles [390 million hectares] of imagery per day, according to RapidEye. The constellation will produce color imagery with a resolution of about 21 feet [6.5 meters], but RapidEye officials say the system will be differentiated by rapid response and timely products for the agriculture industry.
