  skos:definition """RapidEye is a commercial multispectral remote sensing satellite mission being designed and implemented by MDA for RapidEye AG. The RapidEye sensor images five optical bands in the 400-850nm range and provides 6.5m pixel size at nadir. Rapid delivery and short revisit times are provided through the use of a five-satellite constellation.

It provides products for the following applications:

-Agriculture - crop monitoring and mapping, yield prediction, etc.
-Forestry - tree species separation, stem volume estimation, etc.
-Security & Emergency - disaster management etc.
-Energy & Infrastructure - pipeline monitoring, landcover classification etc.
-Environment - change detection etc.
-Cartography - satellite based maps, ortho photos, etc.
-Other Markets - natural disaster assessment, 3D-visualization, etc.

The satellites will be placed equally spaced in a single sun-synchronous orbit to ensure consistent imaging conditions and a short revisit time. The RapidEye system can access any area on Earth within a day and cover the entire agricultural areas of North America and Europe within five days.

The RapidEye satellite platforms has been constructed by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL). [1] This makes RapidEye the second multiple-satellite imaging constellation that SSTL has been involved with, after building and launching the Disaster Monitoring Constellation.
