Alleged Land Clearing by Arizona Land Developer Revealed with Space
Imaging's IKONOS Satellite Imagery - State of Arizona to Use Satellite Images as
Evidence in Lawsuit
Denver -- IKONOS satellite imagery has revealed
alleged land clearing by a developer in Arizona. The State of Arizona is suing
the Scottsdale developer for allegedly illegally bulldozing state and private
land known as La Osa Ranch located northwest of the town of Marana, Arizona.
Before-and-after satellite images of the area captured by Space Imaging's IKONOS
satellite show certain changes to the environment and will be used as evidence
in the case. From a 423-mile-high orbit the satellite can see objects on the
ground as small as one meter in size.
