Eastman Kodak Company's Commercial & Government Systems (C&GS) unit today announced a new digital print and CD fulfillment service made available through an agreement with Aerial Images, Inc., of Raleigh, N.C.
This strategic agreement calls for Kodak to be the exclusive provider of digital photographic print production and fulfillment for
the Terra Server. The Terra Server will provide on-line access to more than 2 million square kilometers of 2 meter resolution
SPIN-2 imagery of the world's surface for viewing, downloading and digital photographic printing. The website will also include
U.S. Geological Survey imagery. Terra Server is the result of the continuing collaboration and commitment of Aerial Images,
Inc., Digital Equipment Company, Microsoft, Kodak, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
Kodak will highlight how the new service will allow users to “Take Pictures.Further.(TM)'' by offering affordable, high quality,
rapid print and compact disc production and fulfillment services for digital remote sensing images. This one-stop Kodak service
will offer production of both color and black-and-white digital photographic prints in a variety of sizes. Kodak will also
download large data satellite imaging files to compact discs.
“This new Kodak digital print and CD fulfillment service is an important step in expanding the use of high quality, cost-effective
digital photographic prints,'' said Joanne E. Braeunle, director, Imaging Products & Systems and vice president, Commercial &
Government Systems. “Our focus group studies show that customers are looking for this kind of service because of increasing
interest in satellite imaging and related applications.''
Other highlights of the Kodak booth at the Land Satellite show include a representation of the latest offering of high quality
aerial films and digital imaging systems for satellite imaging.
Located in Rochester, N.Y., Kodak's Commercial & Government Systems unit provides imaging solutions to government
agencies and commercial customers. Technology includes acquisition, processing, analysis, transmission, management and
