“We don’t have everything on the market because we are picky,” said Brock. “There’s just so many options [i.e. satellite operators], so we pick the best.”
Airbus is proud to be included in Apollo Mapping’s carefully curated selection of offerings. In fact, the SPOT satellite archive was among the first searchable by Image Hunter. And over the years, this relationship has paid off for both companies. Apollo has been recognized as a leading reseller of Airbus products and is currently the number one reseller of WorldDEM data sets in North America.
Apollo customers can currently search these Airbus databases with Image Hunter:
“Apollo is professional in everything they do, and they represent Airbus really well in the marketplace,” said Jen Kennedy, Senior Director of Sales, North America. “We know that when customers go to them with questions, Brock and Katie do everything they can to find the correct answer – and that’s why they bring Airbus customers back again and again.”
On the technical side, the modular architecture of the Image Hunter platform enables a level of agility and flexibility that appeals to Apollo customers and business partners. Shortly after the commissioning of the Pléiades Neo satellites earlier this year, Apollo was the first to integrate its query and search functionality with the Pléiades Neo API, giving customers fast access to the new data sets.
Brock confirms that Pléiades Neo data was an instant hit with Apollo clients.
“[Pléiades Neo] is great…it’s one of our top tier products,” he said. “The data looks beautiful, it’s crisp, well registered… and delivers relatively quickly.”
