Elevating Global Awareness

Welcome to Apogeo Spatial

We are updating our site but please enjoy some of our great articles!

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. In 2013, the brand of Apogeo Spatial was created from this powerful legacy of sharing why governments, academia and enterprises would use remotely sensed data. For almost 20 years, we curated and created amazing content with stunning graphics, online and in print, until 2020.

The Apogeo Spatial mission is to communicate the power of geospatial tools and technologies in managing the world’s scarce resources and environment, so that humanity has the security of water, food, energy, safety and sovereignty.
