Apogeo Spatial has entered into a Strategic Partnership with Geospatial World, with relevant articles appearing in both publications.
Apogeo Spatial has been sharing vital Earth Science data and information for 35 years, originally as a newsletter called EO Sat Notes (Earth Observation Notes), then in the 2000’s as Imaging Notes magazine, when Blueline Publishing acquired it from then-Space Imaging.
