We have come a long way since the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing. Since 2009, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been collecting images of the moon to support future mission planning. Using LRO data and the Ames Stereo Pipeline software (ASP 3.4.0 2), PhotoSat created a topographic model of a region of the lunar surface located approximately 380 km southwest of Apollo’s landing site. The evelvation models shown below were produced from 3 different stereo algorithms in ASP: default Block-matching, Semi-Global Matching, and the PhotoSat proprietary algorithm. Don't miss Andrea's fireside chat, "Better Data for Better Decisions – EO Applied to the Mining Industry," tomorrow, December 3, 2024, at NewSpace Europe. . . . . .

Better Data for Better Decisions
About us
PhotoSat is a technology company that produces geospatial data from satellite imagery, using proprietary deep learning algorithms. We passionately believe that better data leads to better decisions, and it is our mission to support safe and responsible projects around the world. Our elevation surveys enable engineers in the operations, planning, design, and development of infrastructure and resource development projects. Our alteration mineral maps and regional topography provide geologists with the unique data required to plan and execute regional or property-scale exploration programs. PhotoSat has delivered 2000+ elevation surveys and 300+ alteration maps for projects in more than 75 countries worldwide. Our multi-disciplinary team counts geophysicists, engineers, associated geoscientists, and other business professionals among its ranks. With this combined expertise and experience, we create reliable, time-saving solutions for major resource development and infrastructure projects.

By combining two VNIR bands with a SWIR band, our geology-enhanced orthophoto can help highlight changes in the lithology and alteration that are often not discernible in a colour orthophoto. Take a look at an example from the Cerro Casale and Caspiche porphyry gold-copper deposits below.
