Business has become acutely aware of the value of remote sensing especially since satellite information was exposed through popular Internet mapping platforms such as MapQuest© and Google Maps©. One key element for business is the ability to have essential information in near real-time whether its natural causes affecting raw material sources to the ability to target potential customers. With the explosion of technology, businesses are utilizing this data on an ever-increasing basis.
