Description

About Us

TerraServer®.com was founded in 1997 in Raleigh, North Carolina with the simple purpose of finding a commercial market for satellite imagery. Aerial Images, TerraServer®.com’s predecessor, helped seed the company’s image database when it forged a relationship with SOVINFORMSPUTNIK, a Russian company with a cache of 2 meter, panchromatic satellite imagery (SPIN-2).

It was this relationship that yielded a series of high-resolution satellite images of Area 51, Groom Lake, Nellis Air Force base, and the Nevada Proving Grounds. On April 17, 2000 TerraServer®.com became the first to release these images to the general public, spawning a wave of publicity (it was the lead story on the CBS Evening News) and enough Internet traffic to down a major Internet provider for over 12 hours.

In recent years, TerraServer®.com has dramatically expanded its image selection by forging relationships with the leading image providers in the industry. The result is the greatest selection and highest quality imagery found anywhere.
