Ranging in length from 34 to 47 seconds, and covering areas of up to 1.19 x 0.67 miles (1.92 x 1.08 kms), Iris has captured full-color HD data that is, as of yet, unparalleled.

Wade Larson, UrtheCast Co-founder, President and Chief Operating Officer, added: "We are realizing UrtheCast's mission to bring something really quite unique to the Earth Observation industry. With today's video release, we continue to move towards being able to deliver fast, scalable, and affordable Earth Observation imagery to our customers, and ultimately broadening the market appeal and utility of space-based remote sensing.

We expect Iris to achieve Initial Operation Capability (IOC) status in the summer of 2015, complimenting the existing Medium-Resolution Camera (MRC), Theia, which reached IOC status in 2014 and is actively filling orders for imagery and data.
