Body
General Electric's Space Systems Division, which builds the satellites for NASA's Landsat, also manufactures equipment for ground processing of data, and offers Landsat image analysis to a variety of users. GEOPAK, the most recent service provided by GE's Earth Resources Applications, is a Landsat geologic reconnaissance package that enables exploration geologists to quickly evaluate large areas of Earth for resource potential. Its advantage is that it provides a packaged analysis in six weeks that would otherwise require months and many miles of surface examination to accomplish.
