He is asking for real time pictures. Google earth is impressive but these pictures were, in many cases, taken years ago. I don't think even our military has high quality real time imaging. You can certainly get near real time weather photos taken by satellites in geosynchronous orbit, but these are 22,000 miles above the Earth's surface. From that distance the resolution is inherently much worse than what could be seen from near earth orbit. To get real time images from near earth orbit would take an enormous number of satellites so that any given area is continuously covered. It is a good question, though. I'm interested in hearing from others what is available. |
