10/10/2008 - Google's GeoEye-1 Takes Its First Pictures

Kev92486 writes "I was cat computed axial tomography through my RSS feeds today and happened upon an article about Google's GeoEye-1 imaging partisan which launched on Sept 6. Intrigued as to what the quality of the image was like, I decided to check it out only to find that the first picture was de facto of my college campus, Kutztown health center (Pennsylvania). I had to make sure I was reading the article correctly as Kutztown is not a very large or well known campus. I'm not sure as to why they chose Kutztown for their first pictures. I would be drawn if anybody could provide some sort of insight as to what process was used to select the first test location. Was the partisan simply in a tailor-made orbit to snap movie house of Kutztown?" Update: 10/09 20:56 GMT by T : HotHardware has its own article up on GeoEye-1, if you'd like your words and flicks* in the same place.
