To commemorate the one-year anniversary of September 11, Space Imaging is offering the following digital archive of pre- and post-attack images of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As no other high-resolution commercial imaging satellites were in orbit on that fateful day, IKONOS was the only space-based camera able to capture this compelling visual chronology of the destruction and rebirth. The imagery provides a special perspective to this story that couldn’t be achieved with hand-held cameras on the ground or even cameras mounted in airplanes.
